To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

$\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

$I_0$ = Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

$I= 15I_0$

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

$\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})$

$\beta = 100-10*log(15)$

$\beta = 100-11.76$

$\beta = 88.23dB$

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.

Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component.</u> Being their main equations as follows:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x=52 m$ is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

$V_{o}$ is the ball's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

$t$ is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=120m$ is the initial height of the ball

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding $t$ from (2):

<u></u>

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (4)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

$t=4.948 s$ (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t$ (7)

And find $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}$ (9)

$V_{o}=10.509 m/s$ (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity $V$ :

$V=V_{o} + gt$ (11)

$V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s)$ (12)

$V=-37.981 m/s$ (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the <u>ball's final speed</u>, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

Which energy transformations BEST illustrates why people can walk? A) Chemical energy is being converted into light energy. B) C

Gekata [30.6K]

The answer is letter c.

The explanation behind this is when human consumes a plant or when a human being eats an animal that ate a plant. The chemical energy kept in the plant (or animal) cells is progressed into the cells of the human's body. All of the body progressions, like ingestion, breathing, pumping blood, are driven by cells changing the kept chemical energy into heat and work, in a procedure called respiration. In the muscle cells of the human (or any animal), the chemical energy is converted into mechanical work and heat. The muscle pacts, the legs thrust, and the body jumps into the air.
