Answer:

Intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is equal to the ratio between to the power emitted by the source divided by the area of the spherical surface through which the wave propagates:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

where

P is the power

$4\pi r^2$ is the area of the spherical surface

r is the distance from the source

As we see from the formula, the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:

$I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

so, intensity is the correct answer.

Two balls are dropped from rest and allowed to fall. If one ball is allowed to fall for 1 s and the other for 3 s compare the di

kirill115 [55]

The second ball traveled a greater distance when compared to the first ball because the second ball spent more time in motion.

The given parameters;

time of fall of the first ball, t = 1 s
time of fall of the second ball, t = 3 s

The distance traveled by each ball is calculated using the second equation of motion as shown below.

The distance traveled by the first ball is calculated as follows;

$h = u_0t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 1^2)\\\\h = 4.9 \ m$

The distance traveled by the second ball is calculated as follows;

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 3^2)\\\\h = 44.1\ m$

Thus, the second ball traveled a greater distance because it spent more time in motion.

A ball is dropped from rest at point O. After falling for some time, it passes by a window of height 3.3 m and it does so in 0.2

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

Explanation:

Height of window = 3.3 m

Time took to cover window = 0.27 s

Initial velocity, u = 0m/s

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

For the top of window (position A)

$s_A=0\times t_A+0.5\times 9.81t_A^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_A^2$

For the bottom of window (position B)

$s_B=0\times t_B+0.5\times 9.81t_B^2\\\\s_A=4.905t_B^2$

$\texttt{Height of window=}s_B-s_A=3.3\\\\4.905t_B^2-4.905t_A^2=3.3\\\\t_B^2-t_A^2=0.673$

We also have

$t_B-t_A=0.27$

Solving

$t_B=0.27+t_A\\\\(0.27+t_A)^2-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A^2+0.54t_A+0.0729-t_A^2=0.673\\\\t_A=1.11s\\\\t_B=0.27+1.11=1.38s$

So after 1.11 seconds ball reaches at top of window,

We have equation of motion v = u + at

$v_A=0+9.81\times 1.11=10.89m/s$

Speed at which the ball passes the window’s top = 10.89 m/s

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4
