Firecracker A is 300 m from you. Firecracker B is 600 m from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. D

efine event 1 to be "firecracker A explodes" and event 2 to be "firecracker B explodes." Does.event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.

Answer:

e see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Explanation:

This is an ejercise in special relativity, where the speed of light is constant.

Let's carefully analyze the approach, we see the two events at the same time.

The closest event time is

       c = (x₁-300) / t

       t = (x₁-300) / c

The time for the other event is

       t = (x₂- 600) / c

since they tell us that we see the events simultaneously, we can equalize

        (x₁ -300) / c = (x₂ -600) / c

         x₁ = x₂ - 300

We see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

An Olympic swimmer swims 50.0 meters in 23.1 seconds . What is his average speed
Aneli [31]
If you take 50 meters and divide by 23.1 seconds, you will get 2.16 meters per second.

So his average speed is 2.16 m/s.

Describe the interactive roles and statuses of individuals and groups in your community.
julia-pushkina [17]
In our community, every person takes a certain role in a way that they contribute something for the development of the community. Certain interactive roles include trainings, team buildings, meetings, fund raising, and etc. Every individual has also gained their own statuses depending on what they have achieved and what they have contributed as well. Those individuals that are classified in the higher statuses are those who are experienced and trained to lead. These roles and statuses help our community become better as well as helping the youth to be great models and individuals in the future.

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 31 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.0 cm^2 area is 42 m f
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

intensity of sound at level of microphone is 0.00139 W / m 2

sound intensity level at position of micro phone is 91.456 dB

EXPLANATION:

Given data:

power of sound   P = 31 W

distance betwen microphone & speaker is   42 m

a) intensity of sound at microphone is calculated as

                   I = \frac{P}{A}

                   = \frac{34}{4 \pi ( 44m )^ 2}

                   =  0.00139 W / m 2        

b) sound intensity level at position of micro phone is

                \beta = 10 log \frac{I}{I_o}

    where I_o id reference sound intensity and taken as

                = 1 * 10^{-12} W / m 2  

               \beta = 10 log\frac{0.00139}{10^[-12}}

                     = 91.456 dB
