Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

Intensity of sound = 20 dB

distance = 15 m

intensity of sound is increased to = 50 dB

distance between the sound level = ?

Using relation

L_2 = L_1 - |20(log \dfrac{r_2}{r_1})|

L₁ = 20 dB        L₂ = 50 dB         r₁ = 15 m      r₂ = ?

log (\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}) = \dfrac{L_1 -L_2}{20}

\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}= 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =r_1 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{\dfrac{|20-50|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{-1.5}

r₂ = 0.47 m

r₂ = 47 cm

hence, the correct answer is option D

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P =1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s

1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v

v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.
