1 answer:

7 0

For a storm to be a blizzard, the wind must be at least 35 miles per hour. This is just one criteria for considering a storm to be a blizzard. The wind speed of 35 miles per hour should reduce the visibility to less than 400 meters. The last criteria is that the storm must continue for a time frame of at least 3 hours.

Although 0 dB is often referred to as the lower threshold of human hearing, it is important to realize that the human ear is not

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

20 Hz

15.8 times

Explanation:

Although the range of frequency for any human's ear is usually said to be between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. And since the question asked for the least intense frequency, that has to be 20 Hz. Essentially the frequency most people perceive the least intense sound is 20 Hz.

A 100-Hz sound must be 10^1.2 times or 15.8 times more intense compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness

What are the 2 types of ions.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Anions have more electrons than protons and so have a net negative charge. Cations have more protons than electrons and so have a net positive charge. Zwitterions are neutral and have both positive and negative charges at different locations throughout the molecule.

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa

hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

$T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}$

$T=2\ years$

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

$D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}$

$D=9.6\ ly$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{D}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}$

$t=16\ years$

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

$n=\dfrac{t}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{16}{2}$

$n=8\ signals$

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

Explain why the driver's reaction time affects the thinking distance.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The thinking distance depends on the reaction time of the driver which could can affected by alcohol, distractions and tiredness. A faster speed increases both thinking distance, increasing the total stopping distance.
