1 answer:
-38.26dB is the intensity level of the sound for the more distant listener relative to that for the nearer listener
By using the <u>inverse square law,</u>

As one listener is 81.9 times farther away from the source of the sound than the other.
Then Increasing the distance by 81.9 times reduces the intensity by
= 6707.61 times
The intensity level of the sound (in decibels) for the more distant listener relative to that for the nearer listener is:
= 10log(ratio of intensities)
= 10log(1/6707.61)
= 10log(0.000149)
=10 × -3.826
= -38.26dB (The negative sign represents the sound is less intense for the farther listener)
So, the intensity level of the sound (in decibels) for the more distant listener relative to that for the nearer listener is -38.26dB

Answer:
a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.
b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.
Explanation:
a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.
The weight of the block (), measured in newtons, is:
(1)
Where:
- Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.
- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
If we know that and
, the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:
And the pull force is:
The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.
b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:
(2)
Where:
,
- Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.
- Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.
- Impact time, measured in seconds.
Now we clear the final speed in (2):
If we know that ,
,
and
, then final speed of the ice block is:
The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.
Answer:
Decreases, Increases
Explanation:
Resistance is parallel can be calculated using
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....
Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.
Let use a simple sample
Let all the resistor have equal resistances
Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn
Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....
1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn
Req = R/n
Check attachment on how I got that.
This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1
So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.
B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases
Using Ohms law
V = iR
Then, I = V/R
So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.
So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit
