The loudness or sound intensity of the roaring truck engine is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. it follows the law of squares that is
r1^2 / r2^2 = L2/L1
8^2 / 4^2 = L2 / 100 dB
L2 = 400 dB

The answer to this problem is 400 dB increased frim 100 dB.

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: Equal number of protons and electrons. Example: an atom of oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 protons and is neutral.

Explanation:

An atom that has no charge is a neutral atom. It contains electrons equal to protons. For example: A neutral atom of oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons.

An atom which has charge is said be ionized. It is either positively charged or negatively charged. It is positively charge when the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. For example: $Na^+$ contains 10 electrons and 11 protons.

And when the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons, the atom is negatively charged. For example, $Cl^-$ has 17 protons and 18 electrons. It readily accepts an electron to complete its octet.

A mass of 100 g stretches a spring 5 cm. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with a downward velocity of

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of spring $m=100\ gm$

extension in spring $x=5\ cm$

downward velocity $v=70\ cm/s$

Position in undamped free vibration is given by

$u(t)=A\cos \omega _0t+B\sin \omega _0t$

where $\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}$

also $\frac{k}{m}=\frac{g}{L}$

$\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{9.8}{0.05}$

$\omega _0=14$

$u(t)=A\cos(14t)+B\sin(14t)$

it is given

$u(0)=0$

$u'(0)=70\ cm/s$

substituting values we get

$A=0$

$u(t)=B\sin (14t)$

$u'(t)=14B\cos (14t)$

$70=14B$

$B=\frac{10}{2}$

$B=5$

$u(t)=5\sin (14t)$

An advantage of parallel circuits is that they A) stop transmitting all current if even one resistor breaks. B) form a single pa

svetoff [14.1K]

Parallel circuits allow current to flow even if some paths are cut, because a parallel circuit has more than one current-carrying path through it.

When a wave enters a new medium from an angle, both the speed and the ________ change

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.
