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

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

What is the magnitude of the applied electric field inside an aluminum wire of radius 1.2 mm that carries a 3.0-a current? [ σal
galben [10]
Hello

1) First of all, since we know the radius of the wire (r=1.2~mm=0.0012~m), we can calculate its cross-sectional area
A=\pi r^2 = 3.14 \cdot (0.0012~m)^2=4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2

2)  Then, we can calculate the current density J inside the wire. Since we know the current, I=3~A, and the area calculated at the previous step, we have
J= \frac{I}{A}= \frac{3~A}{4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2} = 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2

3) Finally, we can calculate the electric field E applied to the wire. Given the conductivity \sigma=3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} of the aluminium, the electric field is given by
E= \frac{J}{\sigma}= \frac{ 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2}{3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} } = 0.018~V/m
