You hear a fire truck with a certain intensity, and you are about 1 mile away. Another person hears the same fire truck with an

intensity that is about 10 times less. Roughly, how far is the other person from the fire truck in miles?

The intensity of sound is just like the force of gravity, the force between electric charges, and the intensity of light . . . they all DEcrease at the same rate that the SQUARE of the distance INcreases.

So if two people are watching or listening to the same source, and one intensity is 1/10 as intense as the other intensity, then the farther person must be  √10  times as far from the source as the nearer person is.

√10 = 3.1622 ...

So the second guy is about <em>3.16 miles</em> from the fire truck.

An ac generator with peak voltage 100 volts is placed across a 10-? resistor. What is the average power dissipated?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is: Average Power  = 500 W

Explanation:
Root-mean square voltage = Vrms = Vpeak /√2 = 100 / √2 volts
Resistance = R = 10 Ω
Average power = Pavg = (Vrms)^2<span> / R </span>= (100 * 100) / (2 * 10) = <span>500 W</span>

Muscles such as quadriceps, hamstrings, the calf muscles and the hip adductors get stronger by walking.

<h3>Which muscles get stronger due to walking?</h3>

The quadriceps, hamstrings, the calf muscles and the hip adductors are the muscles which get stronger by doing walking because impact is produced on these muscles while walking. Walking is a good exercise which have many health benefits.

So we can conclude that muscles such as quadriceps, hamstrings, the calf muscles and the hip adductors get stronger by walking.

What is the approximate potential energy of a 65 kg person standing on a step that is 0.15 m above the ground?
Dovator [93]

m = 65 kg

h = 0.15m

g = 10m/s^2

Potential Energy = mgh

= 65 × 0.15 × 10

= 97.5 Joules

A car has a mass of 1500 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

                            S =34.71 m

Explanation:

M=1500 kg

F=-7000 N

For short and safe distance stop the friction acting should be maximum

                             a(max)=\frac{F}{M}

                                        =\frac{-7000}{1500}

                                         =\frac{-14}{3} m/s2

                                  u=18 m/s

Applying equation of motion

                                   v²=u²+2aS

                                   0= 18^{2} +2*\frac{-14}{3}

                                    S =34.71 m
