The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68

The density of silver is 10.5 g cm3. a piece of silver with a mass of 61.3 g would ovvupy a volume of ?

natali 33 [55]

The relationship between mass m, volume V and density d is:
$d= \frac{m}{V}$
The silver has density $d=10.5 g/cm^3$ , and the mass of the piece of silver is $m=61.3 g$ . Therefore we can calculate its volume using the previous formula:
$V= \frac{m}{d}= \frac{61.3 g}{10.5 g/cm^3}=5.84 cm^3$

Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a slab of transparent material. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 39.9° wit

wariber [46]

Answer:

n=2.053

Explanation:

We will use Snell's Law defined as:

$n_{1}*Sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}*Sin\theta_{2}$

Where n values are indexes of refraction and $\theta$ values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:
