Well, I'll try to write the formula in a way that's not confusing,
but I'm afraid it might be slightly confusing anyway.

When you're working with dB, the basic rule is

       A change of 10 dB means either multiplying or dividing by 10 .

     Multiply something by 10  ==>  it increases by 10 dB.
     Divide something by 10   ==>  it decreases by 10 dB.

It turns out that another way to write all of this is . . .

     An increase of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10¹ 
     An increase of 20 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10²
     An increase of, say, 7 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁰·⁷

     A decrease of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹
     A decrease of 30 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻³
     A decrease of, say, 13 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹·³

This question says:  The sound increases by  5 dB .

That means the original 'intensity' or 'power' of the sound
is multiplied by
                           10⁰·⁵  =  √10  =  about 3.162 (rounded) . 

From the choices listed, the closest one is  (c).

Match the type of boundary with it's characteristic
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Transform= not destroyed or created  

Divergent= crust created  

Convergent= crust destroyed

Explanation:

The plates move in the opposite or away from each other at a transforming plate boundary. The two platform borders are not produced or destroyed in this case. As both plates converge on each other and thus destroy the plates for converging plate boundaries. When the plate is divergent, both plates shift away from each other by opening up and solidification for a new crust.

The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increa
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s.  Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>
  • A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
  • We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

                                          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

  • Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.
<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>
  • Given that,

               T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s

  • We have to find the value of m,

              T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\

               m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.

A student tries to produce notes of higher frequency by blowing a trumpet harder. he will succeed?​
sdas [7]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

He will not succeed as it blows the trumpet harder that only increase the amplitude of the sound wave that means the intensity of the sound will increase but the frequency remains the same.
