The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put 
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1
The intensity at r=3 m will be
I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor 1/9.

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

A system consists of electrons and protons only. It contains 150 electrons and has a total charge of +22e. What is the mass of t
liubo4ka [24]

According to the statements the number of electrons is 150, then

e = 150

But there is a positive charge of +22e, then the number of protons would be

p = 150+172

If the mass of the electrons is

m_e = 9.11*10^{-31} kg

And the mass of the protong is

m_p = 1.673*10^{-27}kg

We have that the total mass of the system would be

m = e*m_e +pm_p

m = 150 * (9.11*10^{-31})+170(1.673*10^{-27})

m = 2.84547*10^{-25} kg

A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?
lesya692 [45]
Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.
ME
=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J
