Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

1 answer:

5 0

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

A stereo speaker is placed between two observers who are 40 m apart, along the line connecting them. if one observer records an

Nadya [2.5K]

The distance from observer A of intensity of sound 59 db is 28.64 m and the distance from observer B of intensity of sound 83 db is 11.36m

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem in parts

let's start by finding the intensity of the sound in each observer

observer A β = 59 db

β = $10 log\frac{I_a}{I_o}$

where I₀ = $1 \times 10^{-12}$ W / m²

$I_a = I_b \times 10 ^{ \frac{\beta}{10} }$

$I_a = 1\times 10 ^{-12} \times 10 ^{ \frac{59}{10} }$

$I_a$ = $2.51 \times 10 ^{-6}$ W / m²

Similarly for Observer b $I_b = 3.16 \times 10 ^ {-4}$

now we use that the emitted power that is constant is the intensity over the area of the sphere where the sound is distributed

P = I A

therefore for the two observers

the area of a sphere is

$A= 4\pi \times r^2$

we substitute the above formula, we get

Let us call the distance from the observer A be to stereo speaker = x, so the distance from the observer B to the stereo speaker = 40- x; we substitute

$I_a (35 -x) ^2 = I_b x^2$

after solving the above equation we get x = 28.64 m

This is the distance of observer A

similarly The distance from observer B is 35 - x

= 40 - 28.64

= 11.36m

Katen [24]

Answer:

1) Accounting period (2) Accounting cycle (3) None (4) Net income (5) Realisation principle (6) Credit (7) Matching principle (8) Expenses

Explanation:

Accounting period : This is the period of time in which the preparation of income statement must covered. The business community and users of finnancial statements require that the business be divided into accounting period (yearly or quarterly ) so that the position of the business can be measured over those period.

Accounting cycle : This shows the sequence of account that must be prepared in order to record, classify, and summarize accounting information. The cycle starts with the recording of the transaction, jounalizing the transaction, posting the transaction to the ledger, preparation of trial balance from the ledger in order to check the arithmetical accuracy of entries in the ledger, and the preparation of financial statement from the trial balance.

Net income : This is used for the recording of operations of the business to determine the profitability of the business. When there is an increase in owners equity resulting from profitable operations it is known as Net income.

Realization principle : This principle established the rule for the periodic recognition of revenue as soon as it is capable of objective measurement, and the value of asset received or receivable in exchange is reasonably certain. It is possible to recognize revenue at a variety of points.

Credit : This is used to show the decrease in asset or increase in liability or owners equity account.

Matching principle : This principle states that expenses and revenue should be assigned to their correct accounting period. It states that all expenses earned during the financial period either paid for or unpaid and all income earned either received or not received must be recorded and treated in that financial period.

Expenses: This is the amount of money spent in the performance of business activities, example of these is the cost of goods and services used up in the process of generating revenue for the business.
