The sound has a unit of measurement. In physics, there are two measurements: in intensity (Watts per square meterI or in decibels. The most common unit of measurement is in decibels or dB. In fact, the threshold of hearing when it comes to measuring noise is in terms of decibels. 

To convert decibels to intensity in W/^2, the equation is

dB = 10log(I/I0), where I0 is equal to 10^-16. It is an empirical constant for the standard reference intensity. Therefore,

12.5 = 10 log (I/10^-16)
I = 1.78 × 10^-15 W/m^2

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

A gaseous mixture contains 412.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 335.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , and 83.1 Torr Ar ( g ) . Calculate the mole fraction, χ
Marianna [84]

Answer: The mole fraction of H_2 , N_2  and Ar  are 0.4950 , 0.4040 and 0.100 respectively.

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_1+p_2+p_3

p_{total}=p_{H_2}+p_{N_2}+p_{Ar}

p_{total}=412.0+335.9+83.1=831.0torr

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_A=p_T\times \chi_A ......(1)

where,

p_A = partial pressure of substance A

p_T = total pressure

\chi_A = mole fraction of substance A

a) mole fraction of H_2

412.0=\chi_{H_2}\times 831.0

\chi_{H_2}=0.4950

b) mole fraction of N_2

335.9=\chi_{N_2}\times 831.0

\chi_{N_2}=0.4040

c) mole fraction of Ar

83.1=\chi_{Ar}\times 831.0

\chi_{Ar}=0.100

In which of these cases do we have enough information to say that the atom is electrically neutral?
Luba_88 [7]
<span>So we want to know when do we have enough information about the atom that we can say that it is electrically neutral. So the information we need to know is the number of protons, whic are positively charged particles and the number of electrons which are negatively charged particles. Number of protons has to be equal to number of electrons for the atom to have neutral charge. Neutrons are electrically neutral so their number doesn't change the charge of the atom. So the correct answer is B. </span>
