If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.

Que fuerza se obtendrá en el émbolo mayor de una prensa hidraúlica cuya área es de 167 cm2, cuando el émbolo menor de área igual

stiv31 [10]

Responder:

Explicación:

Según el principio pascal, establece que la presión aplicada en un punto sobre un líquido en un recipiente cerrado es igual a igual a la presión en cualquier otro punto del líquido.

Matemáticamente Presión ejercida por el pistón más pequeño = Presión ejercida por el pistón más grande.

La presión es la relación entre la fuerza y su área de sección transversal.

P = Fuerza / Área de sección transversal

Sea P1 la presión sobre el pistón más pequeño y P2 la presión ejercida por el pistón más grande.

Como P1 = P2 entonces;

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

Dado F1 = 450N, A1 = 14 cm², A2 = 167 cm² y F2 =?

Sustituyendo el valor conocido en la fórmula para obtener el requerido, tenemos;

$\frac{450}{14} = \frac{F2}{167}\\ \\Cross\ multiplying\\\\14*F_2 = 450*167\\\\14F_2 = 75,150\\\\F_2 = \frac{75,150}{14} \\\\F_2 = 5,367.9N$

$F_2 \approx 5, 368N$

Por lo tanto, la fuerza que se obtendrá en el pistón más grande de una prensa hidráulica cuya área es de 167 cm² es aproximadamente 5,368N,

Compare the geology of Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan.

V125BC [204]

Explanation: Ganymede, Callisto, Titan are the moons of outer planets or gaseous planets which are made up of ice and rock. Callisto is an ice-covered moon and has no inner or outer activity and is considered basically geologically dead. Ganymede has rocky core and shows signs of tectonic activity, including long cracks in the crust and regions of young surface terrain. Titan has active geology of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface, rain back onto the surface and evaporation into the atmosphere. It has similar size, composition and mass to Ganymede and Callisto.

An electron that has an instantaneous velocity of ???? = 2.0 × 106 m ???? ???? + 3.0 × 106 m ???? ???? is moving through the uni

Setler79 [48]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the electron, $v=(2\times 10^6i+3\times 10^6j)\ m/s$

Magnetic field, $B=(0.030i-0.15j)\ T$

Charge of electron, $q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(a) Let $F_e$ is the force on the electron due to the magnetic field. The magnetic force acting on it is given by :

$F_e=q_e(v\times B)$

$F_e=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [(2\times 10^6i+3\times 10^6j)\times (0.030i-0.15j)]$

$F_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (-390000)(k)$

$F_e=6.24\times 10^{-14}k\ N$

(b) The charge of electron, $q_p=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The force acting on the proton is same as force on electron but in opposite direction i.e (-k). Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is a flower not a good blackbody radiator?

artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer is O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.

Explanation:

<u><em> blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.</em></u>
<u><em> No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.</em></u>
