Answer:

1. It becomes 9 times.

2. it becomes one fourth times.

3. It becomes one hundredth times.

4. It becomes one ninth times.

Explanation:

Intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of the wave and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and observation point.

1. As the amplitude of the wave is tripled, the intensity becomes 9 times.

2. As the amplitude becomes half, the intensity becomes one fourth.

3. As the distance between the source and the ear is one tenth, the intensity becomes one hundredth.

4. As the distance between source and ear is one third, the intensity becomes one ninth.

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. $t_1=12.5\ s$

b. $a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. $t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

speed of leading car, $u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}$

speed of lagging car, $u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}$

distance between the cars, $\Delta s=45\ m$

deceleration of the leading car after braking, $a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}$

Time taken by the car to stop:

$v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1$

where:

$v_1=0$ , final velocity after braking

$t_1=$ time taken

$0=25-2\times t_1$

$t_1=12.5\ s$

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

$v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s$

where:

$v_2=$ final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

$a_2=$ acceleration of the chasing car after braking

$0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45$

$a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

$v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2$

$0=35-13.61\times t_2$

$t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking
