Answer:

c. nine times as low.

Explanation:

Sound intensity is defined as the acoustic power transferred by a sound wave per unit of normal area to the direction of propagation:

$I\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Since the sound wave has a spherical wavefront of radius r, then the area is given by:

$A=4\pi r^2$

Here r is the distance from the source of the sound. Thus sound intensity decreases as:

$I\propto \frac{1}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{4\pi r'^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{4\pi (3r)^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{9} \frac{1}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{9} I$

What do ocean waves and sound waves have in common?

Virty [35]

Ocean waves and sound waves are : mechanical wave. A and B aren't right at all. and C is wrong because they aren't electromagnetic.
Mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

Hope this help

Three masses (3 kg, 5 kg, and 7 kg) are located in the xy-plane at the origin, (2.3 m, 0), and (0, 1.5 m), respectively.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a) C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m$

b) $(x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m$

Explanation:

The center of mass "represent the unique point in an object or system which can be used to describe the system's response to external forces and torques"

The center of mass on a two dimensional plane is defined with the following formulas:

$\bar x =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i x_i}{M}$

$\bar y =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N m_i y_i}{M}$

Where M represent the sum of all the masses on the system.

And the center of mass C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)$

Part a

$m_1= 3 kg, m_2=5kg,m_3=7kg$ represent the masses.

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(2.3,0),(x_3,y_3)=(0,1.5)$ represent the coordinates for the masses with the units on meters.

So we have everything in order to find the center of mass, if we begin with the x coordinate we have:

$\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.767m$

$\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)}{3kg+5kg+7kg}=0.7m$

C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0.767,0.7)m$

Part b

For this case we have an additional mass $m_4=6kg$ and we know that the resulting new center of mass it at the origin C.M $=(\bar x, \bar y)=(0,0)m$ and we want to find the location for this new particle. Let the coordinates for this new particle given by (a,b)

$\bar x =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m$

If we solve for a we got:

$(3kg*0m)+(5kg*2.3m)+(7kg*0m)+(6kg*a)=0$

$a=-\frac{(5kg*2.3m)}{6kg}=-1.917m$

$\bar y =\frac{(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)}{3kg+5kg+7kg+6kg}=0m$

$(3kg*0m)+(5kg*0m)+(7kg*1.5m)+(6kg*b)=0$

And solving for b we got:

$b=-\frac{(7kg*1.5m)}{6kg}=-1.75m$

So the coordinates for this new particle are:

$(x_4,y_4)=(-1.917,-1.75)m$

What weather condition creates a tornado?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient (1) instability and (2) wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to unusually warm and humid conditions in the lower atmosphere, and possibly cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere.

Kim is cutting lengths of ribbon so that each length of ribbon equals 8 inches. How many centimeters does 8 inches equal

Aloiza [94]

I think it's 96 because 1 inch = 12 centimeters so 8 multiply by 12 is 96 yah its 96
