How does potential and kinetic energy change in to each other and back again?

1 answer:

6 0

They can change because the law of conservation of energy allows it to happen, for example when you are sitting, your body is at a potential energy state, meaning you are inert, you are not moving, but when you get up and suddenly start walking or running, that energy is converted to kinetic energy, meaning that you are moving and can be changed back into potential energy if all of a sudden you stop running or walking to rest or sit down. This is just an example of how energy can are transferred multiple ways

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?

sp2606 [1]

$1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

$\text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)$

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

$I_{0}$ = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

$19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9$

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

$\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}$

$I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

HELP ME PLEASE, I'M BEING TIMED FAST

Tom [10]

Answer:

A) Energy is tranferred from Joey to the water. The temperature of the water increases.

Explanation:

At first Joey jumps and gains a height above the water level of the pool, this way has an energy potential initial, as Joey falls into the water his speed is increased that is to say its energy potential is transformed into kinetic energy, and at the moment of impact with the water, this energy kinetic is transformed into heat which is transferred to the water. Therefore the temperature increment.

Note: This is one of the reasons why space agencies are studying spatial asteroids that are directed toward the earth, as these come with great kinetic energy, and great potential energy, if these are of a considerable size can cause catastrophic damage, even if they fall into the ocean, due to the large amount of energy which can cause the instantaneous evaporation of large amounts of water and collateral damage in other areas.
