Sound is more effectively transmitted into a stethoscope by direct contact than through the air, and it is further intensified b

y being concentrated on the smaller area of the eardrum. It is reasonable to assume that sound is transmitted into a stethoscope 100 times as effectively compared with transmission though the air. What, then, is the gain in decibels produced by a stethoscope that has a sound gathering area of 15.0 cm2, and concentrates the sound onto two eardrums with a total area of 1.00 cm2 with an efficiency of 37.0%?

A source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 495 nm in air. when the light passes through a liquid, its wavelength reduces t
Katyanochek1 [597]
By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

A 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0475-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 31.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

- After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

- the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using conservation of momentum,

Initial thrower has a momentum of mv; m_{totalv

(69.5 kg + 0.0475 kg) × 2.35 m/s = 163.4366 kg.m/s

Now, When he throws it at 31.5 m/s, these constitutes a momentum of;

(0.0475 kg )(31.5 m/s) = 1.49625 kg.m/s

hence his momentum now is: 163.4366 - 1.49625 = 161.94035 kg.m/s

To get his velocity, we say;

161.94035 = mv

{ he lost weight of the snow ball so, m = 69.5 kg )

161.94035 = 69.5 × v

v = 161.94035 / 69.5

v = 2.33 m/s

Therefore, After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

Next is the Receiver;

the receiver will gain momentum of 1.49625 kg.m/s

he has no momentum initially and after he catches the snow ball;

1.49625 kg.m/s = mv

1.49625 kg.m/s = ( 57.5 kg +  0.0475 kg ) × v

1.49625 kg.m/s = 57.5475 kg × v

v = ( 1.49625 kg.m/s ) / 57.5475 kg

v = 0.026 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

How long will it take a ball to roll 10 meters along the floor at a speed of 0.5m/s
Julli [10]

Answer:

5s

Explanation:

because m/s=s/t so,

0.5m/s=10m/t

t=10m/0.5m/s

t=5sec

What is negative acceleration?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
