Which property of sound waves decreases as the square of the distance from the source increases?

Physics
1 answer:
Vitek1552 [10]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A stone is dropped from a tower 100 meters above the ground. The stone falls past ground level and into a well. It hits the wate
lilavasa [31]

Take the stone's position at ground level to be the origin, and the downward direction to be negative. Then its position in the air y at time t is given by

y=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

Let d be the depth of the well. The stone hits the bottom of the well after 5.00 s, so that

-d=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2(5.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies d=\boxed{22.6\,\mathrm m}

A bag of sugar weighs 3.50 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration isone-sixth
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

F_{Earth}= 15.57 N

F_{Moon}= 2.60 N

F_{Uranus}= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:

g=9.81 m/s²

m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg

F_{Earth}=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:

g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²

F_{Moon}=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N

The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:

g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²

F_{Uranus}=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg

What nonliving materials are important to living things?
Pavel [41]
<span>Nonliving things also have unlimited duration of existence. While living things die and decompose, nonliving things such as rocks, mountains, air and water have existed for millions of years. They may grow, but they do so only by accretion, which is the process of growth by accumulating added layers of matter.</span>

Use the equation PiVi PfVf. Assume that Pi 101 kPa and Vi 10.0 L. If Pf 43.0 kPa, what is Vf
iren2701 [21]
Solving for vf gives you PiVi/Pf. Now plug in 101kPa*10L/43kPa = 23.48L. Using significant figures i would round to 23.5L
