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

light spring of force constant k = 158 N/m rests vertically on the bottom of a large beaker of water (Figure a). A 4.36-kg block
Fantom [35]

Answer:

0.146 m

Explanation:

f = -KΔL according to Hooke's law

volume of water displaced = mass / density of block since a body will displace equal volume of its own

weight of water displaced = mass of water × acceleration due to gravity

and mass of water = volume of water / density of water

weight of water displaced = Vw × dw × g = mg (dw / dblock)

net force = mg - mg (dw / dblock) = 42.728  - 65.74 = -23.00

it will be balanced by a restoring force of 23 N

ΔL = F / k = 23 / 158 = 0.146 m

Fluid pressure changes with depth are assumed to be linear. Which statement best explains why this does not hold true for atmosp
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure due to fluid is directly proportional to the depth of fluid, density of the fluid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

P = h d g

Where, h is the depth, d be the density and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

If we talk about teh atmospheric pressure, the density of air goes on decreasing as we go up and up. o we cannot say that it is directly depends only on the depth of air, it also depends on the changing density of air.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

A positive charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. How much work is performed or required in mov
Nitella [24]

Answer:

No work is performed or required in moving the positive charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

Lets take

Q= Positive charge which move from  point A to point B along

Voltage difference,ΔV =V₁ - V₂  

The work done

W = Q . ΔV

Given that  charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface.It means that voltage  difference is zero.

ΔV = 0

So

W = Q . ΔV

W = Q x 0

W= 0 J

So work is zero.
