Answer:

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and displacement. Work is positive if force and displacement moves in the same direction. Work is negative if force and displacement moves in opposite direction. Take for example, a load is to move from point A to point B in the forward direction. if you apply force on the load from point A to B work done on the load is positive. If it happens that the force you apply is to the opposite direction, the work done will be negative.

Suppose that the sound level of a conversation is initially at an angry 71 dB and then drops to a soothing 54 dB. Assuming that

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the decibel scale , intensity of sound changes logarithmically as follows

$10log\frac{I}{I_0} =$ Value in decibel scale , the value of I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /m².

Putting the values

$10log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 71$

$log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 7.1$

$\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 10^{7.1}$

$I= 10^{-4.9}$ W/m²

Similarly for 54 dB sound intensity can be given as follows

I = 10⁻¹² x $10^{5.4}$

$I= 10^{-6.6 }$ W / m²

For intensity of sound the relation is as follows

I = 2π²υ²A²ρc where υ is frequency , A is amplitude , ρ is density of air and c is velocity of sound .

Putting the given values for 71 dB

$I= 10^{-4.9}$ = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x 346

A² = 60.03 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 7.74 x 10⁻⁸ m

For 54 dB sound

$10^{-6.6}$ = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x 346

A² = 1.1978 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 1.1 x 10⁻⁸ m

Where does a phase change occur

il63 [147K]

A phase change is occuring; the liquid water is changing to gaseous water, or steam. On a molecular level, the intermolecular forces between the water molecules are decreasing. The heat is providing enough energy for the water molecules to overcome these attractive forces.
