Kepler's third law hypothesizes that for all the small bodies in orbit around the
same central body, the ratio of (orbital period squared) / (orbital radius cubed)
is the same number.

<u>Moon #1:</u>  (1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

<u>Moon #2:</u>  (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

If Kepler knew what he was talking about ... and Newton showed that he did ...
then these two fractions are equal, and may be written as a proportion.

Cross multiply the proportion:

(orbital period)² x (2.346 x 10^4)³ = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3)³

Divide each side by (2.346 x 10^4)³:

(Orbital period)² = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3 km)³ / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

               =  0.1017 day²

Orbital period = <u>0.319 Earth day</u> = about 7.6 hours.

If the intensity of a loud car horn is 0.005 W/m^2 when you are 2 meters away from the source. Calculate the sound intensity lev
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(c) 97 dB sound intensity level

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn I=0.005w/m^2

We know that I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2

Now the sound intensity level is given by \beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option
