What is the SI unit for intensity?

Physics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal
Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>

The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>

(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m

An orchestra is practicing a piece that is to be played at an allegro tempo. The conductor sets a metronome at 160 beats per min
omeli [17]

Answer:

375 ms

Explanation:

the frequency of metronome , f = 160 beats per minute

f = 160 /60 beats per sec

f = 2.67 beats /s

the period of a single beat , T = 1/f

T = 1/2.67 s

T = 0.375 s = 375 ms

the period of a single beat is 375 ms

What is dark energy? How is dark energy related to the theory of the multiverse?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

In the 1980s, astronomers turned to multiverse theory to explain the “luckily small” amount of dark energy in our universe. According to cosmologist's theories, this small amount of dark energy appeared to enable our universe to host life, while most universes in the multiverse couldn't.
