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

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

rewona [7]

At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature. Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat. Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

Find the angle formed by two forces of 7N and 15N respectively if its result is worth 20N

nadezda [96]

First, you need to make certain assumptions before solving this question. Why? Because there are no information given about the direction of these forces. In such questions as above, ALWAYS make the following assumptions:

1) Take first force, say $F_{1}$ , and assume that it is pointing towards the x-direction.

Let us take the 7N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the force vector would be like:
$F_{1}$ = $7i$ , where $i$ = Unit vector in the x-direction.

2) Take the second force, say $F_{2}$ , and assume that it is making an angle $\alpha$ with the first force $F_{1}$ .

Let us take the 15N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the forces vector would be like:

$F_{2} = (15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now from simple vector addition, we know that,
$F_{R} = F_{1} + F_{2}$ --- (A)

Where $F_{R}$ = Resultant vector.
NOTE: In equation (A), all forces are in vector notation. Assume that there is an arrow head on top of them.

Let us find $F_{1}+F_{2}$ first!
$F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $7i+(15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

=> $F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $(7+15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now the magnitude of $F_{1}+F_{2}$ is,
| $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ (7+ 15*cos \alpha)^{2} + (15*sin \alpha )^{2}}$

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225*(cos \alpha)^{2} + 210*(cos \alpha)+ 255*(sin \alpha )^{2}}$

Since $(sin \alpha)^{2} + (cos \alpha)^{2} = 1$ , therefore,

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Since  | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = | $F_{R}$ |, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 20N, therefore,

| $F_{R}$ | = | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ |
20 = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Take square on both sides,
400 = $49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)$
$(cos \alpha) = \frac{3}{5}$

$\alpha = 53.13^{o}$

Ans: Angle formed by the two forces, 7N and 15N, is: 53.13°
