The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid. Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.
A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.
It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:
-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
Angry sound level = 70 db
Soothing sound level = 50 db
Frequency, f = 500 Hz
Assuming speed of sound = 345 m/s
Density (assumed) = 1.21 kg/m^3
Reference sound intensity, Io = 1*10^-12 w/m^2
Part (a): Initial sound intensity (angry sound)
10log (I/Io) = Sound level
Therefore,
For Ia = 70 db
Ia/(1*10^-12) = 10^(70/10)
Ia = 10^(70/10)*10^-12 = 1*10^-5 W/m^2
Part (b): Final sound intensity (soothing sound)
Is = 50 db
Therefore,
Is = 10^(50/10)*10^-12 = 18*10^-7 W/m^2
Part (c): Initial sound wave amplitude
Now,
I (W/m^2) = 0.5*A^2*density*velocity*4*π^2*frequency^2
Making A the subject;
A = Sqrt [I/(0.5*density*velocity*4π^2*frequency^2)]
Substituting;
A_initial = Sqrt [(1*10^-5)/(0.5*1.21*345*4π^2*500^2)] = 6.97*10^-8 m = 69.7 nm
Part (d): Final sound wave amplitude
A_final = Sqrt [(1*10^-7)/(0.5*1.21*345*4π^2*500^2)] = 6.97*10^-9 m = 6.97 nm
Venus is called Earth's "Twin" because Earth and Venus have almost the same mass, size, similar composition and they are neighboring planets. Some of most notable differences though between the two planets are their color, temperature, Earth's ability to support life and their atmosphere. Venus' atmosphere is about 100x thicker than Earth's, Earth can support life while Venus can not because Earth has water and plant life and Earth is a bright blue and green while Venus is more orange and red.
<span>(4) 19.6 N</span>
On Earth's surface, a mass of 1kg <span>exerts a force(weight) of 9.81 N
So the weight= 9.81x2.00
=19.62N
=19.6N</span>
