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

Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is given as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

here we know that

c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

also we know that

\lambda = 5.04 \times 10^{-7} m

now we have

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{5.04 \times 10^{-7}}

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

A thin rod rotates at a constant angular speed. Consider the tangential speed of each point on the rod for the case when the axi
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

    v = R w    

With this expression we see that for each point at different radius the tangential velocity is different

Explanation:

They indicate that the angular velocity is constant, that is

            w = dθ / dt

Where θ is the radius swept angle and t the time taken.

The tangential velocity is linear or

           v = dx / dt

Where x is the distance traveled in time (t)

 

In the definition of radians

          θ = s / R

Where s is the arc traveled and R the radius vector from the pivot point, if the angle is small the arc (s) and the length (x) are almost equal

         θ = x / R

We substitute in the speed equation

         v = d (θ R) / dt

The radius is a constant for each point

         v = R dθ / dt

         v = R w

With this expression we see that for each point at different radius the tangential velocity is different

Suppose that a ball is released from the window of a train that is moving with constant velocity.  The path of the ball, as obse
barxatty [35]

True, the path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

An object projected from a certain height has a parabolic path when observed from a fixed point.

However, if the reference point is moving at the same velocity as the object, the path of the object's motion appears to be a straight line.

When the ball is released from the window of the train, it will move at the same constant velocity as the train, and the path of the ball's motion observed from the train window will be a straight line.

Thus, we can conclude that the given statement is true. The path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

Below is a circuit schematic of sources and resistors (Figure 3). VS = 10V , R1 = 100Ω, R2 = 50Ω, R3 = 25Ω, IS = 2A. Calculate t
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

V_3\approx 4.28\,\,V

I_1=0.0572\,\,amps

I_3\approx 0.171\,\,amps

Explanation:

Notice that this is a circuit with resistors R1 and R2 in parallel, connected to resistor R3 in series. It is what is called a parallel-series combination.

So we first find the equivalent resistance for the two resistors in parallel:

\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{50}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{3}{100}\\Re=\frac{100}{3} \,\,\Omega

By knowing this, we can estimate the total current through the circuit,:

Vs=I\,*\,(\frac{100}{3} +25)\\10=I\,*\,\frac{175}{3} \\I=\frac{30}{175} \,amps

So approximately 0.17  amps

and therefore, we can estimate the voltage drop (V3) in R3 uisng Ohm's law:

V_3=\frac{30}{175} *\,25=\frac{30}{7} \approx 4.28\,\,V

So now we know that the potential drop across the parellel resistors must be:

10 V -  4.28 V = 5.72 V

and with this info, we can calculate the current through R1 using Ohm's Law:

I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1} =\frac{5.72}{100} =0.0572\,\,amps
