The intensity of a 70-dB whistle is quintupled. What is the new decibel level
hoa [83]

Multiplying the power of any signal by 5 can be described as
an increase of  6.99 dB .

If the whistle blew at 70 dB initially, and its sound power became
multiplied by 5, and the whistle and the listener both stayed in
the same places, then the listener would tell you that the whistle
was now blowing at 76.99 dB .

(More likely, he would report "77 dB" as he held his ears and winced.)

A ball starts from rest and rolls down a hill at a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. If it travels for 8 m how fast is it going i
makkiz [27]

Hi there!

We can use the following kinematic equation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad

vf = final velocity (? m/s)
vi = intial velocity (0 m/s)

a = acceleration (5 m/s²)

d = displacement (8 m)

Plug in the givens and solve.

v_f^2 = 0 + 2(5)(8)\\\\v_f = \sqrt{80} = \boxed{8.944 \frac{m}{s}}

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft. High at an initial speed of 21.82 mi/h what is
viktelen [127]
To solve this problem we are going to use tow kinematic equations for falling objects.
1. Kinematic equation for final velocity: V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
where
V_{f} is the final velocity 
V_{i} is the initial velocity 
g is the acceleration due to gravity 32 \frac{ft}{s^2}
t is the time 
2. Kinematic equation for distance: d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where
d is the distance 
V_{i} is the initial velocity 
V_{f} is the final velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity 32 \frac{ft}{s^2}
t is the time 

First, we are going to convert 21.82 mi/h to ft/s:
21.82 \frac{mi}{h} =31.21 \frac{ft}{s}

Next, we are going to use the first equation to find how long it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.
We know for our problem that the object is thrown in upward direction, so its velocity at its maximum height (before falling again) will be zero; therefore: V_{f}=0. We also know that it initial speed is 31.21 ft/s, so V_{i}=31.21. Lets replace those values in our formula to find t:
V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
0=31.21+(-32)t
-32t=-31.21
t= \frac{-31.21}{-32}
t=0.98seconds

Next, we are going to use that time in our second kinematic equation to find the distance the object reach at its maximum height:
d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
d=31.21(0.98)+ \frac{1}{2} (-32)(0.98)^2
d=15.22ft 

Now we can add the height of the building and the maximum height of the object:
d=160+15.22=175.22ft

Next, we are going to use that height (distance) in our second kinematic equation one more time to fin how long it takes for the object to fall from its maximum height to the ground:
d=V_{i}t+ \frac{1}{2} gt^2
175.22=31.21t+ \frac{1}{2} (32)t^2
16t^2+31.21t-175.22=0
t=2.47 or t=-4.43
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.47 is the time it takes the object to fall to the ground. 

Finally, we can use that time in our first kinematic equation to find the final speed of the object when it hits the ground:
V_{f}=V_{i}+gt
V_{f}=31.21+(32)(2.47)
V_{f}=110.25 ft/s

We can conclude that the speed of the object when it hits the ground is 110.25 ft/s

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen
mash [69]
Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
E=hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J
