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}

A car is accelerating at 30 m/s2, if the car is 400 kg how much force
Verizon [17]
It would be 12,000 because newton’s third 2nd law states F=ma (force=matter x acceleration) so 30x400 would be your force .

please mark brainliest and i hope this helps!

You are traveling at 14 m/s for 20 seconds. What is your displacement?
enyata [817]

Velocity = 14 m/s

Time = 20 s

Displacement = Velocity×Time = (14×20) m = 280 m

The displacement is 280 m towards the direction of motion.

We will first convert lb to grams and in³ to milliliters. 
350 lb : 2.205 = 158.75733 kg = 158,757.33 grams
1.3 · 10^4 in³ = 13,000 in³ = 13,000 · 0.016387064 = 213.031 liters 
213.031 liters · 1,000 = 213,031 milliliters
Density = m / V = 158,753.33 g / 213,031 ml = 0.7452 g/ ml
Answer: A block of material will float.
