Answer:

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

Explanation:

given,

increase in sound level = 28.1 dB

frequency of the sound = 250 Hz

intensity = 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹ W/m²

Intensity delivered = ?

the difference of intensity level is give as

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) - 10log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o})

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) -log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o}))

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

28.1= 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

log\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=2.81

\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=10^{2.81}

 I₂ = 645.65 I₁

 I₂ = 645.65 x 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.

Mark creates a graphic organizer to review his notes about electrical force. Which labels belong in the regions marked X and Y?
sveta [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The question requires as well the attached image, so please see that below.

Coulomb's Law.

The electrical force can be understood by remembering Coulomb's Law, that  describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles. If the particles have charges q_1 and q_2, are separated by a distance r and are at rest relative to each other, then its electrostatic force magnitude on particle 1 due particle 2 is given by:

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we have

r_1 =\cfrac r2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}

Replacing we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}\\|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2/4}

We can then multiply both numerator and denominator by 4 to get

|F|=k \cfrac{4q_1 q_2}{r^2}

So we have

|F|=4 \left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\right)

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we get four times the force.

Then we can replace the second condition

q_{2new} =2q_2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_{2new}}{r_1^2}

which give us

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 2q_2}{r_1^2}\\|F|=2\left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}\right)

Thus doubling one of the charges doubles the force.

So the answer is A.

What is the Net Force acting<br> on the box below?
Eddi Din [679]
The Net Force would be 2 N to the left.

21 N is being used to push the box to the right and 23 N is used to push it left. There is a stronger force pushing the box towards the left. The different in the two numbers would give you the net force acting on the box and the direction of the arrow with the greatest force will tell you the direction.
