Answer:

(c) 97 dB sound intensity level

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn $I=0.005w/m^2$

We know that $I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2$

Now the sound intensity level is given by $\beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB$ , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option

Answer:

$m=17.79Kg$

Explanation:

In this process energy must be conserved. On the initial stage, there will be only gravitational potential energy, while on the final stage there will be only elastic potential energy, so they will be equal. We write this as:

$U_g=U_e$

Which is the same as:

$mgh=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2}$

So we can obtain our mass from there, and for our values:

$m=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2gh}=\frac{(65144 N/m)(0.1333m)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)(3.32m)}=17.79Kg$

A pendulum has 484 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o

mihalych1998 [28]

-- Energy is never created or destroyed.

-- No energy is added to the pendulum during its swing.

-- If we ignore air resistance and friction, then no energy is lost
from the pendulum during its swing.

-- Therefore the total energy of the pendulum must be constant.

-- Any potential energy lost at any point in the swing
must show up as kinetic energy. If it had 484J at the top,
then it'll have 484J at the bottom.

For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.300 kg of Italia

Oliga [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$m_1=0.3 kg$

$m_2=0.4 kg$

Spring constant, $k=200 N/m$

$h=0.250 m$

a.Speed of ham before collision

$u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.25}=2.2m/s$

Collision is inelastic

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1u_1=(m_1+m_2)v$

$0.3\times 2.2=(0.3+0.4)v$

$v=\frac{0.3\times 2.2}{0.7}=0.94 m/s$

Kinetic energy of masses=Spring potential energy at maximum distance

$\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

$A^2=\frac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{k}$

$A=\sqrt{\frac{(m_1+m_2)v^2}{k}}$

Substitute the values

$A=\sqrt{\frac{(0.3+0.4)\times (0.94)^2}{200}}=0.056 m=0.056\times 100=5.6 cm$

1 m=100 cm

b.Time period, $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{k}}$

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(0.3+0.4)}{200}}=0.37 s$

De Vico Comet orbits the Sun every 74.0 years and has an orbital eccentricity of 0.96. Find the comet's average distance from th

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: The comet's average distance from the sun is 17.6AU

Explanation:

From Kepler's 3rd Law, P^2=a^3

Where P is period in years

and a is length of semi-major axis or the average distance of the comet to the sun.

Given the orbital period to be 74 years

74^2 =a^3

5476 = a^3

Cube root of 5476 =a

17.626 = a

Approximately a= 17.6 AU
