To solve this problem we need to apply the corresponding sound intensity measured from the logarithmic scale. Since in the range of intensities that the human ear can detect without pain there are large differences in the number of figures used on a linear scale, it is usual to use a logarithmic scale. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel yes described as
Where,
I = Acoustic intensity in linear scale
= Hearing threshold
The value in decibels is 17dB, then
Using properties of logarithms we have,
Therefore the factor that the intensity of the sound was 
Answer:
2633.7 s
Explanation:
From the question,
Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water
Applying,
P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1
Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time
make t the subject of the equation
t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C
Substitute these values into equation 2
t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500
t = 9218000/3500
t = 2633.7 s
Answer:
M. Magnetism is a property of individual atoms.
Explanation:
when a magnet is broken into pieces the new pieces behave like the original magnet this observation shows that magnetism is the property of individual atoms.
Answer:
The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.
Mathematically;
The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;
ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)
where λ is the wavelength of the light used
Let’s make L the subject of the formula
(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L
From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5
Plugging these values, we have
L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
Answer:
(a) 21.36 ohms
(b) 5.62 A
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Potential difference, V = 120 V
Power, P = 674 W
(a) Power is given as:
P = V²/R
Where R is resistance
=> R = V²/P
R = 120²/674
R = 14400/674
R = 21.36 ohms
(b) Power is also given as:
P = I*V
Where I = Current (time rate of flow of Electric charge)
=> I = P/V
I = 674/120
I = 5.62 A
