Answer:

Perfectly elastic collision

Explanation:

In a closed system, an elastic collision is a type of collision between two bodies, where the total momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

We are told from the problem that the ball bounces back with its original velocity. For the ball to bounce back to the thrower in the first place, this is our first hint that the collision is elastic. If the collision was inelastic, the ball would most likely have stuck to the wall.

In addition to that, the velocity of the ball remains fairly unchanged even after the collision. This confirms that the kinetic energy it had before the collision is the same as the kinetic energy it has after the collision.

As a result of this, the collision is perfectly elastic

Find the noise level of a sound having an intensity of 1.5x10^-14W/m^2 given I0=10^12 W/m2

Llana [10]

Answer:

Noise level will be -18.2 watt

So option (b) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given sound intensity $I=1.5\times 10^{-14}w/m^2$

And threshold intensity $I_0=\times 10^{-12}w/m^2$ ( in question it is given as $10^{12}w/m^2$ but its standard value is $10^{-12}w/m^2$ )

Now noise level $=10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{1.5\times 10^{-14}}{10^{-12}}=10log0.015-18.23$

So the noise level will be -18.2

So option (b) will be correct answer

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct option for the question is B that is salt water. In salt water, the density of water is higher so the pressure at the end of tube containing salt water will be greater. As according to the hydrostatic law the pressure at a given point will be directly proportional to the distance travelled as well.
