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}}

A balloon contains 0.075 m^3 of
inessss [21]

Answer:

600 KPa.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V1) = 0.075 m³

Final volume (V2) = 0.45 m³

Final pressure (P2) = 100 KPa

Initial pressure (P1) =?

Temperature = constant

The initial pressure can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 × 0.075 = 100 × 0.45

P1 × 0.075 = 45

Divide both side by 0.075

P1 = 45 / 0.075

P1 = 600 KPa.

Thus, the initial pressure in the balloon is 600 KPa.

The amount of heat needed
Masteriza [31]
J=joules, c=specific heat, q= energy, and the Tf and Ti are the final and initial temperatures cause I couldn't find a delta sign.

Q=mc(T_{f}-T_{I})  \\ 33000j=2kg*c*80 \\\frac{33000j}{2kg*80} =c \\ c=206.25jkg^{-1}

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.
Ksju [112]
 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>
