As long as all the waves stay in the same medium, the intensity of
any waves ... electromagnetic or mechanical ... decrease in proportion
to the square of the distance.

If the distance increases to 3 x the original distance, then the intensity
changes to  1/3² or 1/9 of the original intensity.

I suppose choice-'d' is the correct one, but I have to tell you that
the phrase "nine times as low" is mathematically meaningless,
and it really grinds my gears.

Correct answer choice is :


D) Nine times as low.


Explanation:


Sound intensity level also identified as acoustic intensity is described as the energy taken by sound waves per unit area in a path perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which involves sound intensity, is the watt per square meter (W/m2). The loudness of a sound describes the intensity of any given sound to the intensity at the start of sound. It is marked in decibels (dB).

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?
Tema [17]
They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

The forces that hold different atoms or ions together are
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical bonds

Explanation:

The chemical bonds hold the different type atoms or ions together.

The type of chemical bonds :

1. Ionic bond  ;

 Ions or atoms changes the electron and form ionic bond.Those atoms gains the electron gets negative charge and those atoms donate the electron gets positive charge.

2.Covalent bond :

  In this type of bond atoms share the electrons and form covalent bonds.

3. Metallic bond :

This type of bond are present in the metals.In this atoms are used free electrons to form bonds.

Therefore answer is --

Chemical bonds
