Molodets [167]3 years ago

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Explanation:

r_1 = 14 km

r_2 = 49 km

Intensity of a wave is inversely proportional to distance

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{49^2}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

The ratio of the intensities is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

The property of matter that determines the direction of heat flow is the
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

The heat flows from high temperature to low temperature.So we can say that temperature is the property that decide the direction of heat flow.Like in the electric system current flow high voltage to low voltage ,so we can say that voltage is the property which determine the direction of current flow.

So the answer is Temperature.

Against the park ranger's advice, a visitor at a national park throws a stone horizontally off the edge of a 86 m high cliff and
Drupady [299]

The initial horizontal velocity of the rock, in m/s is 21.241 m/s.

<h3>What is projectile?</h3>

When an object is thrown at an angle from the horizontal direction, the object is said to be in projectile motion. The object which follows the projectile motion.

Time taken by the stone to reach the ground is

t = √2h/g

t = √(2x 86)/9.81

t = 4.19s


The horizontal velocity is

V(x)  = Horizontal distance traveled / Time taken t

Put the values, we get

V(x) = 89 m/4.19 s

V(x) = 21.241 m/s

Thus, the horizontal velocity is 21.241 m/s

Why do polar compounds tend to have higher melting points than nonpolar compounds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The inter-molecular forces holding non-polar compounds together is low compare to that of polar compounds. Therefore, it will take less energy to break the bond for non-polar compounds and vice versa. That is why polar compounds have higher melting points than non-polar compounds.
