Answer:

loudness of a sound varies with area of a vibrating body.

Explanation:

when a tuning fork is pressed against a rubber pad a feeble sound is heard because of the smaller area of pad but when a vibrating tuning fork is placed vertically on the table the surface area increases and so the loudness of a sound increases.

1) A person having a mass of 59.1 kg stands before a flight of 30 stairs each of which is 25.0 cm high. He runs up 20 stairs, tu

poizon [28]

Answer:

P = 147,75 W

Explanation:

A man whose mass is 59.1kg climbs up 30 steps of a stair each step is 25 cm high

Height at 30 steps , h=30×2.5= 7.5 m

Change in potential energy , =mgh=59.1×10×7.5 = 4432.5 J

So, Work done by the man , W= 4432.5J

Power used , P= $\frac{W}{T}$

P = 4432.5 /30

P = 147,75 W

The distance, x, covered by a particle in time, t, is given as x=a +bc+ct^2 +dt^3

Sav [38]

Answer:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

Explanation:

Since the expression for the distance is:

$x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3$

then:

$a$ has units of distance

$b$ has units of distance over time

$c$ has units of distance over $time^2$

$d$ has units of distance over $time^3$

because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.
