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

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.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.

what are the three types of solenoids, which one is the most common, and which one is used in pinball machines?​
amm1812

Answer:

The types of solenoids are: AC Laminated Solenoid , DC Solenoid , Linear Solenoid ,and Rotary Solenoid.

Explanation:

  • The main purpose of solenoid is to generate the controlled magnetic field that can be used in many forms.
  • The most common use of solenoid is done in the pinball game.
  • The Flipper solenoid that uses the two coil are used in the mechanism of pinball machines.
  • One coil of the solenoid is supplied with high electric current where as other one has the weak current flowing through it.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules
Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\  \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

A beverage manufacturer wants to increase the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO2) in its carbonated drinks.
Brut [27]

D. Decreasing its temperature

Explanation:

Decreasing the temperature of the carbon dioxide gas to be dissolved in the carbonated drink will most likely increase the solubility of the gas in the drink.

Temperature has considerable effects on the solubility of gases in liquids.

  • Dissolution involves the surrounding of ions by water molecules, in this case, the carbon dioxide gas is to be surrounded by the liquid beverage medium.
  • Increasing pressure increases the rate at which gases are soluble. At high pressure, the gases are brought more in contact with the liquid medium.
  • Decreasing temperature aids gas solubility.
  • If the temperature of gases are increased,  they will not want to stay in solution as they gain a high amount of kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, it will increase their randomness and the urge to leave the solution.
  • Decrease in temperature and increase in pressure makes gas solubility to be fast.

The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of
torisob [31]
It is as a result of gravity.  (D)

This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.

The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.
