Answer:

1 light year= 9.5 trillion km

Explanation:

Light year is distance traveled by light in one year.

Distance = speed x time = speed of light x 1 year

1 light year= 3 x 10⁸ x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 9.5 x 10¹⁵m=9.5x 10¹²km

1 light year= 9.5 trillion km

single goose sounds a loud warning when an intruder enters the farmyard. Some distance from the goose, you measure the sound lev

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The sound level of the 26 geese is $Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sound level is $Z_1 = 81.0 \ dB$

The number of geese is $N = 26$

Generally the intensity level of sound is mathematically represented as

The intensity of sound level in dB for one goose is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = 10 log [\frac{I}{I_O} ]$

Where I_o is the threshold level of intensity with value $I_o = 1*10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I$ is the intensity for one goose in $W/m^2$

For 26 geese the intensity would be

$I_{26} = 26 * I$

Then the intensity of 26 geese in dB is

$Z_{26} = 10 log[\frac{26 I }{I_o} ]$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 * [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 \ \ ) * (\ \ 10 log [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

From the law of logarithm we have that

$Z_{26} = 10 log 26 + 10 log [\frac{I}{I_0} ]$

$= 14.15 + 82$

$Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

A 70.0 kg person climbs stairs, gaining 3.90 meters in height. Find the work done (in J) to accomplish this task.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 2675.4 J

Given:

mass, m = 70.0 kg

height, H = 3.90 m

Solution:

According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:

Work done, W = mgH

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8 m/s^{2}[tex][tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J$

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel
