Answer:

The intensity of sound at rock concert is  10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is given by;

I(dB) = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_o} )

where;

I is the intensity of the sound

I₀ is the threshold of sound intensity = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

The intensity of sound at a rock concert

120 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^0\\\\I =1 \ W/m^2

The intensity of sound of a whisper

20 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\2 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-10}\\\\I =10^{-10} \ W/m^2

Thus, the intensity of sound at rock concert is  10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

<span>Mass of the copper penny m = 2.6 g Atomic mass of copper = 63.55, Atomic number = 29, So the number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 a. Neutron mass = 34 x (2.6 / 63.55) = 1.4 grams Copper atoms per mole = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol moles of copper = 2.6 / 63.06 = 0.04123 mol Total atoms in the copper = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol x 0.04123 mol = 0.25 x 10^23 atoms Number of electrons in the copper = 29 per atom Mass of the electron = 9.085 x 10^-28 g b. Electron mass = 0.25 x 10^23 x 29 x 9.085 x 10^-28 = 65.86 x 10^-5 g</span>

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. the tide measures 5.15 ft at
RSB [31]
<span>f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.

   So our function at this point looks like f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
  f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
 f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
  where
 C = Phase correction offset.

   But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
 f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>
