You recently purchased a home four blocks from the busy tollway. On a typical evening, the decibel level resulting from tollway

traffic is 62 dB at the location of your house. Determine the decibel level on the same evening at a house 1 block from the tollway (four times closer).

Answer:

74dB

Explanation:

Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Thus, a house four times closer hears a sound 16x more intense.

The dB scale is logarithmic, so 16x louder than 62 dB is equal to

62 + 10*log(16) ~= 62 + 12 = 74dB

Our body contains ______________ potential energy from food we have eaten.
Alisiya [41]

Answer: Our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.

Explanation:

It is true that our food contains chemical bonds and these bonds have potential energy stored. So, when we eat food then our body acquires chemical potential energy.

When we rub our hands and arms then they form kinetic energy as atoms present within the skin of our hands come into motion. This rubbing of hands leads to the formation of heat which means thermal energy is being generated.

Thus, we can conclude that our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.

For each of the statements below, decide which of the Maxwell equations (forstaticsituations) tells you that the statement is tr
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

(a)There are no magnetic monopoles. true

(c) There must be a vector potential. true

(d) Charges create electric fields.2. true

Explanation:

a) there are no magnetic monopoles because magnetic field is created by charges (electrons) and these electrons have dipole field so it is not possible to have magnetic dipoles, more ever Gauss's law always explained that there are not magnetic dipoles. furthermore magnetic monopoles aree caused by magnetic charges and we have electric charges.

c)vector potential is a vector field which serves as a potential for magnetic field so, the magnetic field B by Faraday and Gauss's law is also known as vector potential.

d) electric field is solely generated by charges be it static charges or moving charges if there are no charges it is not possible to have an electric field.

A ball is dropped from a cliff. determine how far the ball fell after 7.5 seconds
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The ball fell 275.625 meters after 7.5 seconds

Explanation:

<u>Free fall </u>

If an object is left on free air (no friction), it describes an accelerated motion in the vertical direction, powered exclusively by the acceleration of gravity. The formulas needed to compute the different magnitudes involved are

V_f=gt

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where V_f is the final speed of the object in free fall, assumed positive downwards, t is the time elapsed since the release and y is the vertical distance traveled by the object

The ball was dropped from a cliff. We need to calculate the vertical distance the ball went down in t=7.5 seconds. We'll use the formula

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(7.5)^2}{2}

Y=275.625\ m

Help please :pensive:
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 8m/s

Time taken  = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

        A = \frac{v - u}{t}

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

    Insert the parameters and solve;

  A = \frac{8-8}{4}   = 0m/s²

A force of 10N is required to stretch a spring from 20cm to 25cm. What is the spring constant in N/m2 Be careful of unit
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
