As the distance of a sound wave from its source quadruples, how is the intensity changed?

2 answers:

8 0

Through the 1/r law, it was concluded that for the sound intensity or pressure is directly proportional to distance or radius. That is,
p = k/r
where k is the proportionality constant. If the distance of a sound wave is quadrupled then, the intensity of the sound is decreased to 1/4 of its original value.

Answer: Hello mate!

Here we have a sound wave, which expands itself like a sphere that starts in the source.

the model that describes the intensity of the wave with respect of the distance to the source is:

A(r) = A₀/(4πr^2)

where A₀ is the initial intensity, π is 3.14159265 and r is the distance to the source.

then if you quadriply the distance, you now have:

A(4r) = A₀/(4π(4r)^2) = A₀/(4π16r^2) = A(r)/16

this means that if you quadruply the distance to the source, the intensity of the sound wave is 16 times smaller, this is because the intensity decreases with the distance squared.

The force is 2.0 N east

Explanation:

The impulse exerted by a force is defined as the product between the force itself and the time interval during which the force is applied. Mathematically, it is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object on which the force is acting:

$I=F\Delta t = \Delta p$

Where

I is the impulse

F is the force

$Delta t$ is the time interval during which the force is applied

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

In this problem,

$\Delta t = 3.0 s$ is the time interval

$I=6.0 N\cdot s$ (east) is the impulse

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{6.0}{3.0}=2.0 N$

And the direction is the same as the impulse (east).

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise

Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force can be defined as the force of attraction or repulsion that is felt or produced between the magnetic poles and electrically charged moving particles.

Magnetic force is the force that exists due to the attractio or repulsion of objects place around the region of space where a maget exerts its force.

When a magnet is released ai a system of magnets and allowed to move it increases the kinetic eergy of the system by converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

A 7.00-kg object undergoes an acceleration given by ax=3.00 and ay= 9.00 m/s2. Find (a) the components of the force acting on th

lord [1]

Answer:

66.4 N

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = ma

where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Because the object has acceleration in two directions and the mass is constant, the force will be in two directions. The component of the forces are:
