At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

P = AI

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}

Here,

I_1 = Intensity at distance 1

I_2 = Intensity at distance 2

r_1 = Distance 1 from light source

r_2 = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})

I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}

A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

P = AI

P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)

P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

E = 6.1*10^{-9}J

Any push or pull on an object is Question 5 options: Acceleration Velocity Force Inertia
Kobotan [32]
This would be force. Acceleration is increasing the speed in an object and velocity is how fast an object is going. Also, inertia basically says that an object will stay at rest or in motion unless an outside force acts on it. So, for example, a ball will stay in the air unless gravity acts on it and pulls it down. By definition, force is any action, unopposed (or by itself without any other forces that would do the opposite) will change the motion of an object, so this definitely makes the most sense for the question. Hope this helps!

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t
muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

a uniform metre rule is pivoted at its centre and weights of 5 N and 12 N are hung at the 3 cm and 5 cm marks respectively. how
schepotkina [342]

In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides.  A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).

for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm

for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm

Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm

Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction.  We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?  

(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm

Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)

<em>Distance from the pivot =  3 cm </em>
