Answer: The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is referred to how soft or loud a sound is for the listener.

This term is measured in a unit known as decibels referred to as dB.

This unit is used to measure the relative intensity of sounds on a scale from zero to 100 dB.

More the value of decibels, it will be uncomfortable for a person to hear that sound.

So Yes, the loudness of sound is measured in decibels.

When the position of the mass is farthest from the equilibrium position, what is the velocity of the mass?

Llana [10]

At the most distant point, the size of the speed is zero (0 m/s). This is a direct result of preservation of vitality. PE = KE. The most distant far from the harmony position is the maximum PE. Hence it can have no KE. No KE implies no speed since KE = .5mv2

Suppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 light-years away. Their message e

Grace [21]

Answer:

The duration is $T =72 \ years /tex]Explanation:From the question we are told that The distance is [tex]D = 35 \ light-years = 35 * 9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \ m$

Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{D}{c}$

Here c is the speed of light with the value $c = 3.08 *10^{8} \ m/s$

=> $t = \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}$

=> $t = 1.075 *10^9 \ s$

converting to years

$t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8}$

$t = 34 \ years$

Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as

$T = 2* t + 2 + 2$

=> $T = 2* 34 + 2 + 2$

=> [tex]T =72 \ years /tex]

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.
