When is a body said to be at rest

1 answer:

3 0

rest is the state of a body which is stationary relative to a particular frame of reference or another object. When the state of a body does not changes with time with respect to its surroundings in a particular frame of reference that time it is said to be at rest.

in other words we can say that when a body has zero velocity and its position is not changing with time relative to its surrounding then it is said to be at rest.

For example a chair on which you are sitting is at rest or a table on which your desktop is kept is rest because its position is not changing.

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
$I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}$
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1$
The intensity at r=3 m will be
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}$
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor $1/9$ .
