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.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Radius, $r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.275 T

Kinetic energy of the electron, $E=4.9\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Kinetic energy is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4.9\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$

v = 1037749.04 m/s

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

$qvB\ sin90=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}$

$r=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1037749.04}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.275 }$

$r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$

So, the radius of the circular path is $2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What type of reaction feels cold to the touch? A. Endothermic, because energy is being released into the surroundings B. Endothe

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed <em>from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body being minimal.</em>
