How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

1 answer:

4 0

The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

I what is the resistance of

Lynna [10]

The resistance of a conductor is given by:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material
L is the length of the conductor
A is its cross-sectional area

We can use this formula to solve both parts of the problem.

a) The length of the copper wire is L=1.0 m. Its diameter is d=0.50 mm, so its radius is
$r= \frac{d}{2}=0.25 mm=0.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
And its cross-sectional area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.25 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 = 1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$
The copper resistivity is $\rho=1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(1.68 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(1.0 m)}{1.96 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2}= 8.57 \cdot 10^{-2} \Omega$

b) The length of this piece of iron is L=10 cm=0.10 m. Its cross-sectional size is L=1.0 mm=0.001 m, so its cross-sectional area is
$A=L^2 = (0.001 m)^2 =1 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2$
The iron resistivity is $\rho = 9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , therefore the resistance of this piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}= \frac{(9.71 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m)(0.10 m)}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=9.71 \cdot 10^{-3} \Omega$

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting

SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero

PART 2 OF ENERGY AND FORCES UNIT TEST

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1. at least two charged interacting parts

2. from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles

3 an arrow released from the bow

4Electrical fields of charged particles interact, bonding those with opposite charges.

5 the interaction of the electric fields of protons and electrons

6 The energy stored in the system increases.

7 Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction of the field.

8 Iron pieces accelerate toward the magnet, and the energy stored in the system decreases.

The energy stored in the field decreases because the magnet moves in the direction of the field.

10 The energy stored increases and then decreases.

11 The wire was not connected to the source.

12 The electromagnet will become more powerful.

the rest are written, hope this helps (:
