Answer:

3 times option (d) is correct

Explanation:

Initial intensity = Io

final intensity = 9 Io

initial amplitude = A

Final amplitude = ?

let the final amplitude is A'.

Intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

I ∝ A²

So, Io ∝ A²   ... (1)

9Io ∝ A'²     .... (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

9 = A'²/A²

A' = 3 A

So, the amplitude becomes 3 times.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th
Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd

Heyyyy help ! <br><br> What’s the electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength between 1mm and 30cm
LenaWriter [7]

You've got some UHF radio waves at the long end of that range.  But most of the range consists of <em>microwaves</em>.

For example:  In the US, the "microwave oven" kitchen appliance cooks with radiation at a wavelength of about 12.2 cm .
