Answer: Decibels

Explanation:

Decibel is the unit which used to measure intensity of sound. Sound intensity is the power carried by the sound waves per unit area perpendicular to it.

$I = \frac{P}{A}$ measured in W/m²

In decibels:

$I (dB) = 10 log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}$

With each unit rise of decibel, the sound intensity varies by a factor of 10.

A man pushes a 35.2 kg box across a frictionless floor with a force of 128 N. What is the acceleration of the box

vodka [1.7K]

The formula for Force is F = MA, or Force is equivalent to the product of Mass and Acceleration.

F = 128N.
M = 35.2kg.

128 = 35.2A
Divide both sides by 35.2 to solve for the acceleration.
A = ~3.636

The acceleration is 3.636 m/s^2.

I hope this helps!

A 1.1 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 2.16 m long string. The height of the room is 5.97 m . The acceleration of gravity i

nydimaria [60]

1. -23.2 J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is

h = -2.16 m

And the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(-2.16 m)=-23.2 J$

2. 41.1 J

Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.

The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:

h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m

And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(3.81 m)=41.1 J$

3. 0 J

As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.

This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:

h = 0 m

And so the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0 m)=0 J$
