Answer:

C. Quadruple the intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound is proportional to square of amplitude of the sound.

I ∝ A²

$\frac{I_1}{A_1^2} = \frac{I_2}{A_2^2}\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2}$

When the given sound is twice loud as the initial value, then the new amplitude is twice the former.

A₂ = 2A₁

$I_2 = \frac{I_1A_2^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{I_1(2A_1)^2}{A_1^2} \\\\I_2 = \frac{4I_1A_1^2}{A_1^2}\\\\ I_2 = 4I_1$

Thus, to make a given sound seem twice as loud, the musician should Quadruple the intensity

A 2.4-kg ball falling vertically hits the floor with a speed of 2.5 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.5 m/s. What is the magnit

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.6 Ns

Explanation:

Note: From newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m(v-u).................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

Given: m = 2.4 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, u = -1.5 m/s (rebounds)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 2.4[2.5-(-1.5)]

I = 2.4(2.5+1.5)

I = 2.4(4)

I = 9.6 Ns

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

so:

$I_mW_m = I_sW_f$

where $I_m$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $W_m$ is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, $I_s$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and $W_f$ is the final angular velocity.
