Answer: the moon is closer.

Explanation:

The moon is closer to the earth than the sun, which results in a larger gravitational gradient for the moon even though the sun is considerably more massive and has stronger overall gravity than the moon.

1. What is the intensity of a sound when an observer is 10.0 m from the speaker
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

About 133 db.

Explanation:

Sound Intensity Level in db (SIL db) is equal to 10log (base 10) times the ratio of the sound intensity at 200 watts (I) relative to the sound intensity of  the reference sound intensity (I sub 0), which by default is equal to 10⁻¹² W/m² or 0 dB.

I = 200 w / 10 m^2 = 20 w per square meter  

I sub 0 = 10^-12 w per square meter

SIL = 10log ( I / I sub o) = 20 / 10^-12 = 10log ( 20^12) = 10 ( 13.3 ) = 133 db

Hope I typed this part correctly. Hard to get it in without being able to do exponents, etc. :D

In midair in the international space station a 1 kg chunk of putty moving at 1 m/s collides with and sticks to a 5 kg chunk of p
Delicious77 [7]
<span>We know that the momentum keeps constant in a inelastic collisions, so the product of mass and speed do not change:
   m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 = m * v
 1 * 1 + 5 * 0 = (1 + 5) * v
  1 = 6 * v
 v = 1/6 m/s
   So the final speed of the 6 kg chunk will travel at 0.167 m/s</span>

Write down two advantages of parallel combination ​
Simora [160]

Answer:

In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage.

If one appliance is switched on/of others are not affected.

The parallel circuit divide the current through the appliances.

In a parallel combination it is very easy to connect or disconnect a new appliance without affecting the working of other appliances.

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located
const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

v = \lambda f

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda = 2.5 m

f = 10 Hz

now speed of the wave is given as

v = 10(2.5)

v = 25 m/s

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

t = \frac{L}{v}

t = \frac{5}{25}

t = 0.2 s
