Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

I ∝ 1/r²

I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1

When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.

Then,

r₂/r₁= 4.49

From equation 1

I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²

I₁/I₂ = 20.16

I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16

The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as

Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range ( $10^{-15}m$ ), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range ( $10^{-18} m$

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.

If a vehicle is traveling at constant velocity and then comes to a sudden stop, has it undergone negative acceleration or positi

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Negative acceleration

Explanation:

Let us assume a vehicle is moving with a constant velocity u and then it comes to a sudden stop.

The initial velocity of the vehicle is u and finally it comes to rest, it means final velocity is 0.

As we know that,

Acceleration is equal to change in velocity divided by time taken.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\\text{Put v=0}\\\\a=\dfrac{-u}{t}$

We can see that the value of acceleration is negative. Hence, it leads to negative acceleration.

You are on the roof of the physics building of your school, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall,

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The professor should be 3.60 meters away from the place where the egg would fall.

Explanation:

To calculate this first we need to calculate the time it would take for the egg to fall the distance from the roof to the professor's head (46m-1.8m=44.2m).

The formula for free fall is:

y=1/2*g* $t^{2}$

solving for t it would be

$\sqrt{\frac{y}{g*1/2}} =t$

replacing

$\sqrt{\frac{44.2m}{9.8m/s^2*1/2}} = t = 3.00s$

Now that we have the time it would take the egg to get from the roof to the desired height we need to calculate the distance the professor would travel in that time so we know to release the egg when he's exactly at that distance.

Since he is traveling at a constant speed the formula is

x=v*t

replacing

1.20m/s * 3.00 s = x = 3.60 m
