The formula for dB in voltage (or current) is 20*log(V2/V1). Here that's 20*log(5/10)=-6dB. This is the value you can always expect when the output voltage or current is half of the input. The 20 comes from 2*10. The 10 is there because these are deci-bels and not bels. The 2 is there because the decibel is a measure of ratios of powers. Power in electric is proportional to the square of voltage or the square of current. Because of the rules of logarithms, the 2 exponent of the square is brought out front in the equation as a multiplier. Therefore in comparing output Power to input Power given in watts, you don't need the 2, and use only the formula 10*log(P2/P1). For half power its -3dB. But for your answer its -6dB

A cylinder measuring wide and high is filled with gas. The piston is pushed down with a steady force measured to be . Calculate
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given cylinder is 2.6 cm wide and its height is 3.1 cm. And, when piston is pushed down then the steady force is equal to 15 N.

Now, radius of the cylinder will be as follows.

            r = \frac{diameter}{2}

              = \frac{2.6 cm}{2}

              = 1.3 cm

or,           = 0.013 m         (as 1 m = 100 cm)

As, area of cylinder = \pi \times r^{2}

                                = 3.414 \times (0.013 m)^{2}

                                = 5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

Relation between pressure and force is as follows.

             Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

                         = \frac{15 N}{5.77 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}}

                         = 25996 N/m^{2}

Since, 1 N/m^{2} = 1 Pa           (as 1 kPa = 1000 Pa)

Therefore,   P = 25996 N/m^{2}  

                      = 25.99 kPa

                      = 26 kPa (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pressure of the gas inside the cylinder is 26 kPa.

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a hei
ollegr [7]
The correct option is D.
Resonance is a phenomenon in which a vibrating system or an external force induces another system to vibrate at greater amplitude at particular frequencies. 
When a tuning fork is struck with another object, the tuning fork will start to vibrate as a result of the force that is exerted by the object used to struck it. This type of vibration, without direct excitation by a man is an example of resonance.

An α-particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 × 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference that
zzz [600]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on alpha particle=q=2 e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C

1 e=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Mass of alpha particle=m=6.64\times 10^{-27} kg

Potential difference,V=1.97\times 10^6 V

Magnetic field,B=3.49 T

a.Speed of alpha particle=v=\sqrt{\frac{2 qV}{m}}

By using the formula

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.97\times 10^6}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}

v=1.38\times 10^7 m/s

b.Magnetic force,F=qvB=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.38\times 10^7\times 3.49=1.5\times 10^{-11} N

F=1.5\times 10^{-11} N

c.Radius of circular path, r=\frac{mv^2}{F}

r= \frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (1.38\times 10^7)^2}{1.5\times 10^{-11}}

r=0.084 m
