A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?

1 answer:

7 0

The car has an initial velocity $v_0$ of 23 m/s and a final velocity $v$ of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

$v=v_0+at$

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

$0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

How often is water added to the Earth system?

rosijanka [135]

Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

To understand the decibel scale. The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale for measuring the sound intensity level. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, it changes by an additive constant when the intensity when the intensity as measured in W/m² changes by a multiplicative factor. The number of decibels increase by 10 for a factor of 10 increase in intensity. The general formula for the sound intensity level, in decibels, corresponding to intensity I is

$\beta=10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}} )dB$ ,

where $I_{0}$ is a reference intensity. for sound waves, $I_{0}$ is taken to be $10^{-12} W/m^{2}$ . Note that log refers to the logarithm to the base 10.

Part A: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 10 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=10I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part B: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 100 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=100I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part C: Calculate the change in decibels ( $\Delta \beta_{2},\Delta \beta_{4}$ and $\Delta \beta_{8}$ ) corresponding to f = 2, f = 4 and f = 8. Give your answer, separated by commas, to the nearest integer -- this will give an accuracy of 20%, which is good enough for sound.
