Dominik [7]2 years ago

The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put 
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1
The intensity at r=3 m will be
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor 1/9.

A car accelerates from 20mi/hr to 60mi/hr. How many times greater is the car's kinetic energy at the higher speed compared to th
Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²
