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.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. what is the average speed for the tri
iren2701 [21]
<span>Th find the average speed of a trip we need to dived the total distance by the total time. Let's find the total distance d. d = (300 mi/h)(2.00 h) + 750 miles d = 600 miles + 750 miles d = 1350 miles The total distance is 1350 miles Let's find the total time t. t = 2.00 hours + (750 mi / 250 mi/h) t = 2.00 hours + 3.00 hours t = 5.00 hours The total time of the trip is 5.00 hours. We can find the average speed. d / t = 1350 miles / 5.00 hours d / t = 270 miles/ hour The average speed of the trip is 270 mi/h (Note that the direction does not matter when we find the average speed.)</span>

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2
