To solve this problem, we use the formula:

I100 / I1 = [P / 4π(100m)^2] / [P / 4π(1m)^2]

I100 / I1 = 1 / 100^2

I100 / I1 = 10^-4

 

Therefore the change in intensity from 1m to 100m in decibels is:

B100 – B1 = 10 log(10^-4) dB = -40 dB

 

So the intensity at 100m is calculated as:

B100 = B1 – 40 dB = 140 dB – 40 dB = 100 dB

 

Answer:

100 dB

The intensity of the sound produced due to the firecracker at the distance of 100\text{ m} is \fbox{\begin\\100\text{ dB}\end{minispace}}.

Further Explanation:

The vibration, produced in the medium, which travels as an wave of pressure or density through a medium is known as sound. The sound is a longitudinal wave and it requires a medium for its propagation.  

Given:

The distance between the place where firecracker is set off by a child and the family house is 100\text{ m}.  

The intensity of the sound produced by the firecracker at the distance 1\text{ m} is140\text{ dB}.

Concept:

The intensity of the sound wave is defined as the power carried by the sound waves in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation per unit time.

The intensity of the sound wave is:

\fbox{\begin\\I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}\end{minispace}}                                                        ...... (1)

Here, I is the intesnity of the sound wave, P is the power carried by the sound wave and r is the distance between source and the listener.

The intensity of the sound in decible at the house is:

\fbox{\begin\\\beta _{100}=\beta _{1}+10\log \dfrac{I_{100}}{I_{1}}\end{minispace}} ...... (2)

Here, \beta _{100} is the intensity of the sound at the distance of 100\text{ m}, \beta _{1} is the intensity of sound produced by the firecracker at the distance of 1\text{ m}, I_{100} is the intensity of sound produced by firecracker at 100\text{ m} and I_{1} is the intensity of sound produced by firecracker at 1\text{ m}.

The ratio of the intensity of sound at distance 100\text{ m} and 1\text{ m} is:

\fbox{\begin\\\dfrac{{{I_{100}}}}{{{I_1}}}=\frac{{r_1^2}}{{r_2^2}}\end{minispace}}                                                                                     …… (3)

Calculation:

Substitute the values in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}\frac{{{I_{100}}}}{{{I_1}}}&=\frac{{{{\left( 1 \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}\\&={10^{ - 4}}\\\end{aligned}

Substitute the values in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\beta _{100}}&=140\,{\text{dB}} - 40\,{\text{dB}} \\&=100\,{\text{dB}}\\\end{aligned}.

Thus, the intensity of the sound produced due to the firecracker at the distance of 100\text{ m} is \fbox{\begin\\100\text{ dB}\end{minispace}}

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.
Nadusha1986 [10]
Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

Sedaia [141]

Complete Question

Suppose you have three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Initially sphere A carries a charge q and the others are uncharged. Sphere A is brought in contact with sphere B, and then the two are separated. Spheres CC and BB are then brought in contact and separated. Finally spheres AA and CC are brought in contact and then separated. What is the final charge on the sphere B, in terms of q?

a. 3/8q

b. 1/4q

c. 3/4q

d. q

e. 5/8q

f. 1/3q

g.1/2q

h. 0

Answer:

   The correct option is b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The charge carried by A is  q C

           The charge carried by B is 0 C

            The charge carried by C is 0 C

When A and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by  A and B is mathematically evaluated as

                 \frac{ 0 + q}{2} =   \frac{q}{2}

When C and B are brought close and then separated the charge carried by  C and B  is mathematically evaluated as    

                    \frac{0 + \frac{q}{2} }{2}  = \frac{q}{4}

When C and A are brought close and then separated the charge carried by  C and A  is mathematically evaluated as  

                       \frac{\frac{q}{4} +  \frac{q}{2} }{2}   = \frac{3q}{8}

Looking at these calculation we can see that the charge carried by B is

        \frac{q}{4} C
