Will two sounds of 50 db constitute a sound of 100 db . Explain

Two sounds of 50 db each will NOT constitute a 100 db sound. This is because, the relation that relates levels of sounds is a logarithmic relation and not a direct relation of addition. <span>Each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.
</span>This means that, for 50 db, the resultant sound level will be <span>twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01dB
</span>
The final sound level = 50 + 3.01 = 53.01 db

You are sitting in a car that is travelling at a constant 10 m/s. How fast is your drink, sitting in the cup holder, traveling r
Ksenya-84 [330]

Here, we are required to determine how fast is you drink, sitting in the cup holder, travelling relative to the car.

  • The speed of the drink, sitting in the cup holder, relative to the car is; 0m/s

From the laws of relative motion,

  • <em>when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in the same direction, the speed of Object A relative to B is;. (a - b)</em>

  • <em>when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in the same direction, the speed of Object A relative to B is;. (a - b)when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in opposite directions, the speed of Object A relative to B is; (a+b)</em>

  • <em>when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in the same direction, the speed of Object A relative to B is;. (a - b)when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in opposite directions, the speed of Object A relative to B is; (a+b)when object A and Object B are travelling with speed a and b respectively in the same direction, where speed a = speed b, then the speed of object A relative to object B is; zero(0).</em>

Evidently, the scenario in the question is similar to the third scenario above. The cup, sitting in the cup holder is travelling with the car at the same constant speed 10m/s.

Therefore, the speed of the drink relative to the car is zero(0).

a.Calculate the average speed (in km/h) of Charlie, who runs to the store 4 kilometers away in 30 minutes. b.Calculate the dista
sveta [45]

as per the question charlie runs to the store which is  4 km away

hence the total distance covered [S] is 4 km

he takes 30 minutes to reach the store.

hence the total time taken [t] = 30 minutes=0.5 hour

We have to calculate the average speed.

the average speed[v]= =\frac{S}{t}

                                   =\frac{4 km}{0.5 hour}

                                    =8 km/hour

then we have to calculate the total distance traveled by charlie in 1 hour.

the distance covered S= V_{avg} *t

                                      =8 km/hour ×1 hour

                                      =8 km

Hence the average speed of charlie is 8 km/hour and he covers a distance of 8 km in 1 hour.

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
