85 decibels or higher can cause damage to the human ear. Decibels is the value of the measurement of sound. Hearing loss can be caused by noise coming from a loud sound. Noise induced hearing loss maybe permanent loss or temporary loss. Examples of activities that can give you a noise induced hearing loss is target shooting, listening to music in your earphones that have a high volume, and using lawnmowers.

A fat person weighing 80 Kg falls on a concrete floor from 2m. If whole of the mechanical energy is converted into heat energy,
sasho [114]

Answer:

The heat produced is 1568 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the person, m = 80 kg

The height from which the person falls, h = 2 m

Mechanical Energy, ME = Potential Energy, PE + Kinetic Energy, KE

At the height, from where the person falls, the initial velocity of the person = 0 m/s

Therefore;

The initial kinetic energy, K.E. = 1/2·m·v² = 1/2 × 80 kg × (0 m/s)² = 0 J

From which we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. + 0 J

∴ The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E.

The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the person

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 80 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2 m = 1568 J

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 1568 J

The whole mechanical energy is converted into heat energy, therefore, we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The heat energy = 1568 J

The heat produced = The heat energy = 1568 J.

Which of the following describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
gregori [183]

The answer is neutral charge. An atom element will always and has to be stable, in order for this state to happen. The charge of an electron has to be neutral. For atom with neutral charge, the proton will always equal the number of electron.

A small meteorite with mass of 1 g strikes the outer wall of a communication satellite with a speed of 2Okm/s (relative to the s
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The energy coverted to heat is 200 kilojoules.

Explanation:

GIven the absence of external forces exerted both on the small meteorite and on the communication satellite, the Principle of Linear Momentum is considered and let suppose that collision is completely inelastic and that satellite is initially at rest. Hence, the expression for the satellite-meteorite system:

m_{M}\cdot v_{M} + m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{M}+m_{S})\cdot v

Where:

m_{M}, m_{S} - Masses of the small meteorite and the communication satellite, measured in kilograms.

v_{M}, v_{S} - Speeds of the small meteorite and the communication satellite, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the satellite-meteorite system, measured in meters per second.

The final speed of the satellite-meteorite system is cleared:

v = \frac{m_{M}\cdot v_{M}+m_{S}\cdot v_{S}}{m_{M}+m_{S}}

If m_{M} = 1\times 10^{-3}\,kg, m_{S} = 200\,kg, v_{M} = 20000\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{S} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the final speed is now calculated:

v = \frac{(1\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(20000\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(200\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{1\times 10^{-3}\,kg+200\,kg}

v = 0.1\,\frac{m}{s}

Which means that the new system remains stationary and all mechanical energy from meteorite is dissipated in the form of heat. According to the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, the change in the kinetic energy is equal to the dissipated energy in the form of heat:

K_{S} + K_{M} - K - Q_{disp} = 0

Q_{disp} = K_{S}+K_{M}-K

Where:

K_{S}, K_{M} - Initial translational kinetic energies of the communication satellite and small meteorite, measured in joules.

K - Kinetic energy of the satellite-meteorite system, measured in joules.

Q_{disp} - Dissipated heat, measured in joules.

The previous expression is expanded by using the definition for the translational kinetic energy:

Q_{disp} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [m_{M}\cdot v_{M}^{2}+m_{S}\cdot v_{S}^{2}-(m_{M}+m_{S})\cdot v^{2}]

Given that m_{M} = 1\times 10^{-3}\,kg, m_{S} = 200\,kg, v_{M} = 20000\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{S} = 0\,\frac{m}{s} and v = 0.1\,\frac{m}{s}, the dissipated heat is:

Q_{disp} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[(1\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(20000\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+(200\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-(200.001\,kg)\cdot \left(0.001\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]Q_{disp} = 200000\,J

Q_{disp} = 200\,kJ

The energy coverted to heat is 200 kilojoules.
