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.

Write a rule for the sequence. 3, -3, -9, -15. A. Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly B. Start with -6 and add 3 repeatedly C. St

faust18 [17]

Substract two consecutive terms of the sequence to see if there is a common difference:

$\begin{gathered} (-3)-(3)=-3-3=-6 \\ (-9)-(-3)=-9+3=-6 \\ (-15)-(-9)=-15+9=-6 \end{gathered}$

As we can see, there is a common difference of -6.

Then, if a number of the sequence is given, the next one can be found by adding -6 (which is the same as subtracting 6).

Notice that the first term of the sequence is 3.

Then, the rule for the sequence is to start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

Therefore, the correct choice is option A) Start with 3 and add -6 repeatedly.

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y / L

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

sin θ = y / L

we substitute

d y / L = m λ

λ = $\frac{d \ y}{m \ L}$

let's calculate

λ = $\frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }$

λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

λ = 451.7 nm

Dafna11 [192]

Answers:

a) -2.54 m/s

b) -2351.25 J

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the <u>Conservation of Momentum principle</u>, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :

$p_{o}=p_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}$ (2)

$p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (3)

$m_{1}=110 kg$ is the mass of the first football player

$V{o}=-7 m/s$ is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

$m_{2}=75 kg$ is the mass of the second football player

$U_{o}=4 m/s$ is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both football players

With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:

a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

$m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg}$ (6)

$V_{f}=-2.54 m/s$ (7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player

The change in Kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is defined as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2}$ (8)

Simplifying:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2})$ (9)

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2})$ (10)

Finally:

$\Delta K=-2351.25 J$ (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

A force of 45 N is applied tangentially to the rim of a solid disk of radius 0.12 m. The disk rotates about an axis through its

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Mass of the disk will be 2.976 kg

Explanation:

We have given force F = 45 N

Radius of the disk r = 0.12 m

Angular acceleration $\alpha =140rad/sec^2$

We know that torque $\tau =I\alpha$

And $\tau =Fr$

So $Fr=I\alpha$ , here I is moment of inertia

So $50\times 0.12=I\times 140$

$I=0.0428kgm^2$

We know that moment of inertia $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

So $0.0428=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times 0.12^2$

m = 2.976 kg

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?

faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.
