    Decibel (dB) is a logarithmic scale of power. Depending upon if you're looking for power, or root power a change in the power by a factor of 10 will be 10dB, or 20dB. Since this question is asking about "sound intensity" it's looking for a power factor, not a root-power factor (which would be the case for sound pressure). So we're looking for a 50 dB increase (100 dB - 50 dB) = 50 dB which means that we're wanting 10^5 = 100,000 times as much power. Assuming each identical voice contributes the same amount of power, you'd have 100,000 (one hundred thousand) voices talking at once for a sound intensity of 100 dB.</span>

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

A 1.5 kg spherical ball is has a radius of 50 cm is rotating with angular velocity of 12 revolutions per minute. Determine the r
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

K.E = 0.0075 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the ball = 1.5 kg

radius, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Angular speed, ω = 12 rev/min = (12/60) rev/sec = 0.2 rev/sec

Now,

the kinetic energy is given as:

K.E = K.E=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where,

I is the moment of inertia = mr²

on substituting the values, we get

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times1.5\times0.5^2\times0.2^2

or

K.E = 0.0075 J

Monochromatic light of wavelength 687 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 1.65 m away, the distance between the second
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.
