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

An amateur golfer swings a golf club, striking a golf ball that has a mass of 55.0 g. The club is in contact with the ball for o
Rudiy27

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

                    = 1.87

F = \frac{1.87}{0.0036}

 = 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.
