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

D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.

In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.

With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N

Fs = (0.35)(147 N)

Fs = 51.45 N

Fs ≅ 51 N

rjkz [21]
Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J
