Will two separate 50db sounds together constitute a 100db sound explain mathematical
vfiekz [6]
Putting together two distinct 50 dB sound, do not create a 100 dB sound. Since decibels are logarithm of energy, creating two sounds together only makes the energy increase but the logarithm only goes up by somehow little. So increasing the sound by 10 dB, only makes it 10000 times louder because each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.

Twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01 dB. So, 53,01 dB is twice as loud as 50dB.

Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s

<u>v₂ = 4.2 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)

<u>v₂ = 5 m/s</u>

Describe the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when temperature and mass are constant
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The product of Pressure and Volume is a constant.

Explanation:

We know the Ideal gas equation,

PV  =  nRT,

where,

P -  Pressure of the gas

V -  Volume of the gas

n -  No. of moles of the gas taken

R -  Universal Gas Constant.

T - Temperature of the gas.

We know that ,  n  =  \frac{wt}{Mwt}

where, wt - Mass of gass ; Mwt - Molecular weight of the gas.

We are given the weight of the gas remains constant (wt is a constant)

Therefore as n = \frac{wt}{Mwt},(where both wt and Mwt are constants)

n is a constant in this process.

Universal gas constant is a constant

Given temperature is a constant.

Therefore,

As, PV = nRT,  (where n,R,T are constants),

PV is a constant.

Therefore we can say,

PV = k,  for some constant k.

If we plot a graph for P vs V , we get a Rectangular Hyperbola( One of the general forms of a Rectangular Hyperbola is xy = c)
