The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that

four of your neighbors are all mowing their lawns using identical "Super-Silent" mowers. When they are each 20 m from your open bedroom window, what is the intensity level of the sound in your bedroom? You can neglect any absorption, reflection, or interference of the sound. The lowest detectable intensity is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB.

Answer:

The 80 dB option is correct.

Explanation:

The sound intensity level is converted to sound intensity with the formula

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

[D] = 100 dB

100 = 10 log (I/I₀)

Log (I/I₀) = 10

(I/I₀) = 10¹⁰

I = I₀ × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻¹² × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻² W/m²

But sound intensity varies inversely as the square of the distance of the sound.

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

At d = 1 m away, I = 10⁻² W/m²

0.01 = k/1

k = 0.01 W

At d = 20 m, we solve for I

I = 0.01/20² = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

4 people mowing their lawns at the same time,

I = 4 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁴ W/m⁻²

The sound intensity level in decibels is given as

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

[D] = 10 log (10⁻⁴/10⁻¹²)

[D] = 10 log (10⁸)

[D] = 10 × 8 = 80dB

When magnesium fluoride reacts with iodine, the products are fluorine and magnesium iodide. What would the equation be?
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Every chemical reaction can be represented by simple chemical equations that shows how compounds are combining to give some products.

Such reactions are usually made up of:

     Reactants on the left hand side

     Products on the right hand side

            Reactants  →  Products

In this given problem;

            Reactants are :   Magnesium fluoride  = MgF₂

                                             Iodine in form of Iodide   = I₂

           Product : Magnesium iodide  = MgI₂

             

               MgF₂   +     I₂    →       MgI₂   +   F₂

Answer:

Explanation:

Length if the bar is 1m=100cm

The tip of the bar serves as fulcrum

A force of 20N (upward) is applied at the tip of the other end. Then, the force is 100cm from the fulcrum

The crate lid is 2cm from the fulcrum, let the force (downward) acting on the crate be F.

Using moment

Sum of the moments of all forces about any point in the plane must be zero.

Let take moment about the fulcrum

100×20-F×2=0

2000-2F=0

2F=2000

Then, F=1000N

The force acting in the crate lid is 1000N

Option D is correct
