By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

$intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2$

increase the intensity by factor of 9

I₁ = I₀

I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}$

$\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2$

$(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, $\rho=2300\ \Omega-m$

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, $V=1\times 10^3\ V$

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}$

$R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}$

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}$

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way

UNO [17]

It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.

Which of the following statements are true?

inessss [21]

Answer:

a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.

FALSE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity

b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant

c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.

d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant

e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.

FALSE

Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change
