I = pressure amplitude given = 0.2 W/m²

dB = decibel reading

decibel reading from the pressure amplitude is given as

dB = 10 log₁₀ (I/10⁻¹²)

inserting the values in the above equation

dB = 10 log₁₀ (0.2/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹/10⁻¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10⁻¹.10¹²)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹²⁻¹)

dB = 10 log₁₀ (2 x 10¹¹)

dB = 113.01 db

hence the decibel reading comes out to be 113.01 db

A firefighter with a weight of 756 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.96 m/s2, directed downward. What are

Katen [24]

Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

Answer: In a divergent plate boundary, seafloor spreading taking place. It leads to the formation of oceans as new materials are added here along the mid-oceanic ridge. There occur volcanism and shallow-focus earthquakes.

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates collide to form high mountain belts and also volcanic eruptions take place. There occur long chains of volcanic as well as island arcs, in association with deep-focus earthquakes.

In a transform plate boundary, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here.

The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements and many more. These continuous processes have configured the present shape of the earth's surface.

For example, the breaking up of the supercontinent Pangea divided into Laurasia and Gondwanaland and subsequently formed the present scenario. This separation of continents has taken place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where:

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at time t

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

$v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s$

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

$v_x = 5 m/s$
