How can you increase the intensity of sound waves

VladimirAG [237]

Answer

The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation

Explanation:

As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.

One difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis

artcher [175]

A hypothesis is a tentative statement which is made to try to explain a known phenomenon but whose truth value is still uncertain, whether it is true or no depends on further research. On the other hand, a theory is made up of hypothesis which have been proven to be true so far, a theory should be able to explain future phenomena successfully

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i

NARA [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

In inelastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved after collision but the kinetic energy is reduced.

Momentum is Mass X velocity.

5 kg ball is in motion, while 10 kg ball is stationary; that is zero velocity.

The momentum of 10 kg ball before collision is zero while the momentum of 5 kg ball before collision is more than zero. Therefore, the magnitude of change in momentum will not be equal.

Next possible options are in kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

Final kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Change in kinetic energy = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Change in kinetic energy of 5kg ball = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2$

Since the 5-kg ball has initial velocity (u), the magnitude of the change in velocity will be reduced.

Change in kinetic energy of 10kg ball:

the ball is initially at rest, therefore the initial velocity (u) will be zero (0)

Δ K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

From the solution above, the magnitude of the change in velocity experienced by 10 kg ball is higher than 5 kg ball.

Hence, The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball
