The faintest sound an ear can hear (20 micro-pascals) is roughly ______ times smaller than atmospheric pressure at sea level.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 5.06\times10^{9}

At sea level, there is one standard atmospheric pressure which is equal to 101.325 kilopascals.

The pressure of faintest sound that a human ear can hear is 20 micro-pascals.

taking the ratio of two:

\frac {101.325 kilopascals. }{20 micropascals} = \frac {101.325 \times 10^{3}Pa}{20 \times 10^{-6}Pa}

=5.06\times10^{9}

Hence, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 5.06\times10^{9} times greater than the faintest sound that a human ear can hear.

The earliest radio broadcasts on Earth were emitted about 100 years ago. Approximately where are these initial radio waves now?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

100 ly are d=9.454255\times10^{17}m

Explanation:

The speed of light is, by definition (we define this and derive a definition of distance from there nowadays), c=299792458m/s. We want to know, at this speed, how much distance the radio signals travel in 100 years. Since each year has 365 days (not a leap one though), each day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, the number of seconds in a year will be (365)(24)(60)(60)=31536000, so the distance traveled by the waves in 100 years will be:

d=vt=(299792458m/s)(100)(31536000s)=9.454255\times10^{17}m, which, of course, are 100 light years.

an astronaut on an eva has wandered dangerously far away from the shuttle. she has also exhausted all the fuel in her jet pack.
V125BC [204]

The conservation of the momentum allows to find the result of how the astronaut can return to the spacecraft is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

The momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of the body, for isolated systems the momentum  is conserved. If we define the system as consisting of the astronaut and the evo propellant, this system is isolated and the internal forces become zero. Let's find the moment in two moments.

Initial instant. Astronaut and thrust together.

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. The astronaut now the thruster in the opposite direction of the ship.

       m_f = m v + M v '

where m is propellant mass and M the astronaut mass.

As the moment is preserved.

       0 = m v + M v ’

      v ’= - \frac{m}{M} \ v  

We can see that the astronaut's speed is in the opposite direction to the propeller, that is, in the direction of the ship.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by the relationship between the masses.

In conclusion, using the conservation of the momentun we can find the result of how the astronaut can return to the ship is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

A wave has a wavelength of 5m and frequency of 5 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?​
Anna71 [15]
If you multiply m (the unit for wavelength) with 1s (the unit for frequency), you will get m/s, the unit for speed. Now multiply! 25 m/s is your final answer!
