In order to waken a sleeping child, the volume on an alarm clock is doubled. Under this new scenario, how much more energy will

be striking the child's ear drums each second?

Answer:4 times more energy will be striking the childbearing

Explanation:

Because Volume is directly proportional to amplitude of sound. Energy is proportional to amplitude squared. If you triple the amplitude, you multiply the energy by 4

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

$W= F*s$

Therefore,

$P=\frac{F*s}{t}$

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time

$F = 124 N,s = 32.0 m,t = 8.0 s$

$P =\frac{W*s}{t} =\frac{124N*22.0s}{8.0s} =496 W$

Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

Find the acceleration produced.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.67m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of toy = 1.2kg

Force applied = 0.8N

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Now,

Acceleration = $\frac{Force}{mass}$

Acceleration = $\frac{0.8}{1.2}$ = 0.67m/s²

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

$E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}$

$E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}$

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C
