3. If a car is moving at 90km/hr and it rounds a corner, also at 90km/hr. Does it maintain
1 answer:
Answer:
Constant speed: yes
Constant velocity: no
Explanation:
Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:
- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:
- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.
In this problem, we notice that:
- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h
- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.

is the intensity of the sound.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.
This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.
Where,
I = Intensity of the sound produced
= Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels =
So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,
When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,
