<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀) --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.4$

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of $d\theta$

Normal Force $=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}$

$N=T\cdot d\theta$

Friction $f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction$

$f=\mu \cdot N$

and $T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta$

$dT=\mu Td\theta$

$\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta$

$\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}$

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51$

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$T = 308.6 ^0 C$

Explanation:

Here by ideal gas equation we can say

$PV = nRT$

now we know that pressure is kept constant here

so we will have

$V = \frac{nR}{P} T$

since we know that number of moles and pressure is constant here

so we have

$\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

now we know that initial temperature is 17.8 degree C

and finally volume is doubled

So we have

$\frac{2V}{V} = \frac{T_2}{(273 + 17.8)}$

so final temperature will be

$T_2 = 581.6 k$

$T_2 = 308.6 ^o C$

The default unit of rotational speed is 'radians per second' or 'rad/s'. If a someone sits at the edge of a 5m radius carousel a

Blizzard [7]

The rotational speed of the person is 0.4 rad/s.

<h3>Rotational speed (rad/s)</h3>

The rotational speed of the person in radian per second is calculated as follows;

v = ωr

where;

v is linear speed in m/s
r is radius in meters
ω is speed in rad/s

ω = v/r

ω = 2/5

ω = 0.4 rad/s

Thus, the rotational speed of the person is 0.4 rad/s.
