I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.
Answer:
7200 kg.m/s
Explanation:
According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.
Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Initial momentum
Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity
Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive
Initial momentum will be
1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s
Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s
Answer:
distance is 13 m for 100 dB
distance is 409 km for 10 dB
Explanation:
Given data
distance r = 2.30 m
source β = 115 dB
to find out
distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB
solution
first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance
we know sound level β = 10 log(I/
) ......................a
put here value (I/) = 10^−12 W/m² and β = 115
115 = 10 log(I/10^−12)
so
I = 0.316228 W/m²
and we know power = intensity × 4π r² ...............b
power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²
power = 21.021604 W
we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²
so by equation b
power = intensity × 4π r²
21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²
so by solving r
r = 12.933855 m = 13 m
distance is 13 m
and
at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²
so by equation b
power = intensity × 4π r²
21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²
by solving r we get
r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km
Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
