The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?
sp2606 [1]

1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB).  Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

                     \text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

I_{0} = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

                   19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

                  \left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}

                  I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

The thermal energy of a container of helium gas is halved. what happens to the temperature in kelvin
xxTIMURxx [149]
Thermal energy quantifies the amount of heat present in the body and is calculated through the equation,

   H = mcpdT

where H is the heat, m is the mass, cp is the specific heat, and dT is the temperature difference. If all things are constant, and the thermal energy is halved then, dT should also be reduced to half.

Choose all of the true statements regarding the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current. Current is measured in am
AveGali [126]

-- <u><em>Current is measured in amps.</em></u>  (You can use any symbol you want to represent current, but the most common one is " I ", not "Δ".)

-- <u><em>The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is mathematically defined by Ohm's Law. </em></u>

-- <u><em>Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit.</em></u>

-- (Ohm's Law is NOT mathematically represented by the equation V=I/R.)  <u><em>It should be V = I · R</em></u> .  

(When solving for Resistance in a circuit and both voltage and current are known values, the equation I =V*R is not true, and not the way to solve it.)  <u><em>If the resistance is what you're looking for, then the equation to use is  </em></u><u><em>R = V / I</em></u><u><em> .  </em></u>

<em>-- </em><u><em>If the voltage in a circuit is increased, the current will also increase.</em></u>
