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

Pavlova-9 [17]

As it is pushed deeper, the buoyant force on the jar will decrease. The correct option is B

<h3>What is buoyant force ?</h3>

The upward force applied to an object that is fully or partially submerged in a fluid is known as the buoyant force. Upthrust is another name for this upward thrust. A body submerged partially or completely in a fluid appears to shed weight, or to be lighter, due to the buoyant force.

The fluid under which an object is submerged exerts pressure, which is what generates the buoyancy force. Because a fluid's pressure rises with depth, the buoyancy force is always upward.

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the +z direction through a region of space in which there are crossed ele
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B = 7.6 T   direction of + x

Explanation:

For the proton beam to continue in the same direction the electric and magnetic forces must be equal

              F_{m} - F_{e} = 0

              F_{m} = F_{e}

              Fm = q E

             

The electric force is in the direction of the electric field because it is the charge of the positive proton, the electric force goes in the direction of –y, therefore, the magnetic force cancels this force must go in the direction of + y

 The magnetic force is

             F_{m} = q v x B = q v B sin θ

             θ = 90

             B = q E / q v

             B = E / v

             B = 800/105

             B = 7.6 T

To find the direction of the magnetic field we use the right hand rule, the thumb goes in the direction of the proton velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm is the direction of force, for a positive charge.

Thumb goes in the direction of the + z axis

Palm in the direction of +y

Fingers point in the direction of + x
