Answer:
26000 years
Explanation:
Precession describes the angular motion of the Earth's body. Since the attitude of telescopes relative to the Earth's body can be controlled with high accuracy, and telescopes can measure the direction of incoming light also with high accuracy, the motion of Earth is under permanent high precision monitoring. Thus the basic numerical descriptor of precission, an angular rate of 5029.0966 seconds of arc per Julian century, traditionally denoted p (for precession) is a measured value from observed coordinate changes of thousands of stars over, say, two centuries. The understanding of this value in terms of forces acting on an oblate Earth from the Moon is well understood so that an extrapolation back and forth over a few full cycles contains little uncertainties. Of course, you can find details on the coordinate transformations mentioned above (the direct observational effect of precession) on the net. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia article on precession covers the astronomical aspect very poorly. You thus better look for other sources.
Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the receiver.
That is
I = k/r^2
where
k = constant
r = radius
When r=1, the intensity is I₁ = k/1 = k
When r=3, the intensity I₂ = k/3² = k/9
Therefore
I₂ = I₁ /9
In decibels,
I = 10 log₁₀(I/I₀)
where I₀ = reference intensity
When r=1,
10 log₁₀ (I₁/I₀) = 270
When r =3,
10 log₁₀ (I₂/I₀) = 10 log₁₀ [(I₂/I₁)*(I₁/I₀)]
= 10 log₁₀ [(1/9)*(I₁/I₀)]
= 10 log₁₀(1/9) + 270
= 260.5
Answer: 260.5 dB (nearest tenth)
Her magnitude of deceleration on the ice would be 15.126m/s
Answer:
7.7 km 26°
Explanation:
The total x component is:
x = 2.5 cos(35°) + 5.2 cos(22°) = 6.87
The total y component is:
y = 2.5 sin(35°) + 5.2 sin(22°) = 3.38
The magnitude is:
d = √(x² + y²)
d = 7.7 km
The direction is:
θ = atan(y/x)
θ = 26°
