1) WRONG. Since gravitational force is an attractive force.
2) WRONG. The Earth does accelerate but the acceleration is so small that it's negligible. However it DOES ACCELERATE.
3) CORRECT.
4) WRONG. Mass means gravitational field, so Nina might be small compared to the Earth but it still creates a gravitational field around her. This answer is also wrong because it's breaking Newton's third law of action-reaction. If Earth pulls Nina, then Nina pulls the Earth back with the same force. Yes, with the SAME FORCE, however F=m*a, so the great difference in mass makes Nina's acceleration much bigger than the Earth's one.

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th

hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

$v = 20 m/s$

now from kinematics we can say

$v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

here initial speed will be

$v_i = 0$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = 9.8 m/s^2$

now we can use this to find the height

$20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h$

$400 = 19.6 *h$

$h = 20.4 m$

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m

The bellow of a territorial bull hippopotamus is measured at 100 dB above the threshold of hearing. What is the sound intensity?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hippopotamus hearing threshold is 100dB

β = 100 dB

The threshold of human hearing is Io = 1 × 10^-12 W/m²

The sound intensity level is given as

β = 10•Log(I / Io)

100 = 10•Log(I / Io)

Divided Both sides by 10

100 / 10 = Log(I / Io)

10 = Log(I / Io)

Take inverse Logarithm ( antilog) of both sides

10^10 = 10^[Log(I / Io)]

10^10 = I / Io

Then,

I = 10^10 × Io

I = 10^10 × 1 × 10^-12

I = 1 × 10^-2 W/m²

I = 0.01 W/m²

The sound intensity is 0.01 W/m²

Does the densoty of an object change if you add more of it because i did an expirement that proved that the density does change

Marysya12 [62]

No the density does not change. Density is a ratio D=m/v no matter how much of a substance you have its mass will be proportional.
When doing density labs sometimes you might get different answers due to errors that are unavoidable.
