Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?

sp2606 [1]

$1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

$\text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)$

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

$I_{0}$ = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

$19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9$

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

$\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}$

$I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

A train slows down as it pulls into a station. if the train is moving from your left to your right, what are the directions of t

navik [9.2K]

The directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

The velocity vector is always in the direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the right from our point of view.
When there is a positive acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the direction of motion of the object. When there is a negative acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the opposite direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the left from our point of view.

Velocity vector is the rate of change of position of an object. Acceleration vector is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Therefore, the directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

What mechanism of energy is transferred by mass motion of fluid from one region of space to another?

lora16 [44]

Convection, because it is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy within it.

What do group 2 elements have in common

Leokris [45]

Although many characteristics are common throughout the group, the heavier metals such as Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra are almost as reactive as the Group 1 Alkali Metals. All the elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their valence shells, giving them an oxidation state of +2.
