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.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is A.

A) The increased pressure, pushed the molecules closer together, and caused the marshmallow to shrink.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Jayden experimented, she placed the marshmallow in the syringe and sealed the end. When she depressed the plunger of the syringe, the pressure increased and pushed the molecules closer together and causes the marshmallow to shrink.

Find the quantity of heat needed

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J$ (assuming that the melting point of ice is $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ .)

Explanation:

Convert the unit of mass to kilograms, so as to match the unit of the specific heat capacity of ice and of water.

$\begin{aligned}m&= 100\; \rm g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{1000\; \rm g} \\ &= 0.100\; \rm kg\end{aligned}$

The energy required comes in three parts:

Energy required to raise the temperature of that $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice from $(-10\; \rm ^\circ C)$ to $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ (the melting point of ice.)
Energy required to turn $0.100\; \rm kg$ of ice into water while temperature stayed constant.
Energy required to raise the temperature of that newly-formed $0.100\; \rm kg$ of water from $0\; \rm ^\circ C$ to $10\;\ rm ^\circ C$ .

The following equation gives the amount of energy $Q$ required to raise the temperature of a sample of mass $m$ and specific heat capacity $c$ by $\Delta T$ :

$Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T$ ,

where

$c$ is the specific heat capacity of the material,
$m$ is the mass of the sample, and
$\Delta T$ is the change in the temperature of this sample.

For the first part of energy input, $c(\text{ice}) = 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (0\; \rm ^\circ C) - (-10\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_1 &= c(\text{ice}) \cdot m(\text{ice}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 2100\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 2.10\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, for the third part of energy input, $c(\text{water}) = 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1}$ whereas $m = 0.100\; \rm kg$ . Calculate the change in the temperature:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta T &= T(\text{final}) - T(\text{initial}) \\ &= (10\; \rm ^\circ C) - (0\; \rm ^\circ C) \\ &= 10\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the energy required to achieve that temperature change:

$\begin{aligned}Q_3&= c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water}) \cdot \Delta T\\ &= 4200\; \rm J \cdot kg \cdot K^{-1} \\ &\quad\quad \times 0.100\; \rm kg \times 10\; \rm K\\ &= 4.20\times 10^{3}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

The second part of energy input requires a different equation. The energy $Q$ required to melt a sample of mass $m$ and latent heat of fusion $L_\text{f}$ is:

$Q = m \cdot L_\text{f}$ .

Apply this equation to find the size of the second part of energy input:

$\begin{aligned}Q_2&= m \cdot L_\text{f}\\&= 0.100\; \rm kg \times 3.36\times 10^{5}\; \rm J\cdot kg^{-1} \\ &= 3.36\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Find the sum of these three parts of energy:

$\begin{aligned}Q &= Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 = 3.99\times 10^{4}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .
