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.

tatyana61 [14]

The complete question is missing, so i have attached the complete question.

Answer:

A) FBD is attached.

B) The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

Explanation:

A) I've attached the image of the free body diagram.

B) The formula for the net force is given as;

F_net = mv²/r

We know that angular velocity;ω = v/r

Thus;

F_net = mω²r

Now, the minimum downward force is the weight and so;

mg = m(ω_min)²r

m will cancel out to give;

g = (ω_min)²r

(ω_min)² = g/r

ω_min = √(g/r)

The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

A slender, uniform metal rod of mass M and length lis pivoted without friction about an axis through its midpoint andperpendicul

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the metal rod pivoted in the middle

= M l² / 12

If the spring is compressed by small distance x twisting the rod by angle θ

restoring force by spring

= k x

moment of torque about axis

= k x l /2

= k θ( l /2 )² ( x / .5 l = θ )

moment of torque = moment of inertia of rod x angular acceleration

k θ( l /2 )² = M l² / 12 d²θ/dt²

d²θ/dt² = 3 k/M θ

acceleration = ω² θ

ω² = 3 k/M

ω = √ 3 k / M

Answer:

a.) the speed at the bottom is greater for the steeperhill

Explanation:

since the energy at the bottom of the steeper hilis greater

$mgh =\frac{1}{mv^2}$

As we can see from above that v is higher when h ishigher.
