german3 years ago
6 0

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.

What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 100 mhz as it travels through a vacuum?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The speed of the wave with a frequency 100 mhz will be  3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that frequency of light is 100 mhz

We have to find the speed of light in vaccuum

We know that all electromagnetic waves travels in vaccum wth the same speed as the speed of light

And we know that speed of light is equal to 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

So the speed of the wave with a frequency 100 mhz will be  3\times 10^{8}m/sec

A spring is 20cm long is stretched to 25cm by a load of 50N. What will be its length when stretched by 100N. assuming that the e
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Final Length = 30 cm

Explanation:

The relationship between the force applied on a string and its stretching length, within the elastic limit, is given by Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

F = Force applied

k = spring constant

Δx = change in length of spring

First, we find the spring constant of the spring. For this purpose, we have the following data:

F = 50 N

Δx = change in length = 25 cm  - 20 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

50 N = k(0.05 m)

k = 50 N/0.05 m

k = 1000 N/m

Now, we find the change in its length for F = 100 N:

100 N = (1000 N/m)Δx

Δx = (100 N)/(1000 N/m)

Δx = 0.1 m = 10 cm

but,

Δx = Final Length - Initial Length

10 cm = Final Length - 20 cm

Final Length = 10 cm + 20 cm

<u>Final Length = 30 cm</u>

zubka84 [21]

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

kondor19780726 [428]
The kinetic energy of the tomato is : 

K.E =  1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

Hope this helps
