Answer: decibel

It is the unit of sound abbreviated as <em>dB. </em>It is also defined as Power per square meter, Therefore intensity of sound expressed in <em>Watt per square meter (W/m2). </em>

Decibel (dB)is the unit of expressing the ratio between two physical quantities, usually amounts of acoustics or electric power or measuring the relative loudness of sounds.

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

Water has a mass per mole of 18.0 g/mol, and each water molecule (H20) has 10 electrons. (a) How many electrons are there in one
Allushta [10]

Answer:

total number of electron in 1 litter is 3.34 × 10^{26} electron

Explanation:

given data

mass per mole = 18 g/mol

no of electron = 10

to find out

how many electron in 1 liter of water

solution

we know molecules per gram mole is 6.02 ×10^{23} molecules

no of moles is 1

so

total number of electron in water is = no of electron ×molecules per gram mole × no of moles

total number of electron in water is = 10 × 6.02 ×10^{23} × 1

total number of electron in water is = 6.02×10^{24} electron

and

we know

mass = density × volume    ..........1

here we know density of water is 1000 kg/m

and volume = 1 litter = 1 × 10^{-3} m³

mass of 1 litter = 1000 × 1 × 10^{-3}

mass = 1000 g

so

total number of electron in 1 litter =  mass of 1 litter × \frac{molecules per gram mole}{mass per mole}

total number of electron in 1 litter =  1000 × \frac{6.02*10{24}}{18}

total number of electron in 1 litter is 3.34 × 10^{26} electron

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i
scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t
natka813 [3]

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = \frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms} = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}

where,

  • \rho = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
  • m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
  • V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
