Answer:

2,8

Explanation:

The first electron shell would have 2 electrons, the second shell would have 8 electrons. This is because Neon has a relative charge of 10.

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?

Kipish [7]

I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.

But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

If there is a huge boulder on your lawn and you want to determine its density, but it is

Olin [163]

There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.

i) that the boulder is above ground.

ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.

iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.

The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.

All the above methods are estimating methods.

*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.

S.G = Density of object

Density of water

If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.

If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.

This is what I think after correction and allthe best!
