1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB).  Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

                     \text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

I_{0} = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

                   19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

                  \left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}

                  I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? (a) 104N (b) 338 N
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

b) 338 N

Explanation: let m be the mass of the gymnast and a be the acceleration of the gymnast.

the force required to accelerate the gymnast is given by:

F = m×a

  = (45.0)×(7.50)

  = 337.5 N

Therefore, the force a trampoline has to apply is 138 N.

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second
Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position y is determined by

y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m

so the answer is D.
