The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"E\" tone, with a frequency of 329.6 Hz. What is the period of the sound wave produced by the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.003034 s

1.035 m

4.5 m

Explanation:

f = frequency of the tone = 329.6 Hz

T = Time period of the sound wave

we know that, Time period and frequency are related as

T =\frac{1}{f}\\T =\frac{1}{329.6}\\T = 0.003034 s

v = speed of the sound in the air = 341 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{341}{329.6}\\\lambda = 1.035 m

v = speed of the sound in the water = 1480 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound in water is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{1480}{329.6}\\\lambda = 4.5 m

To apply Problem-Solving Strategy 12.2 Sound intensity. You are trying to overhear a most interesting conversation, but from you
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

            β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_o}

let's write this expression for our case

           β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

           β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

           

          β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o})

          β₂ - β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_1}

          log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{60 - 20}{10} = 3

           \frac{I_2}{I_1} = 10³

           I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

           I = P / A

           P = I A

the area is of a sphere

          A = 4π r²

           

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

          P =  I₁ A₁ =  I₂ A₂

          I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

          I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

         r₁² = 10³ r₂²

         

         r₂ = r₁ / √10³

         

we calculate

          r₂ = \frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }

          r₂ = 0.316 m

A 25N force is acting on a body moving on a straight line with Initial momentum 20 kam's. Find the final momentum after 4 second
Nezavi [6.7K]

The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.

If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v} . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.

Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s

The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N

The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s

The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP

25 × 4 = P - 20

100 = P - 20

P = 100 + 20 = 120  Kg.m/s

Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.

A certain field line diagram illustrates the electric field due to three particles that carry charges 5.0 μC, -3.0 μC, and -2.0
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Number of lines emanate from + 5 micro coulomb is 15 .

They terminates at negative charges that means at - 3 micro coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb.

the electric field lines terminates at - 3 micro Coulomb and - 2 micro Coulomb is in the ratio of 3 : 2.

So the lines terminating at - 3 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{3}{5}\times 15 = 9

So the lines terminating at - 2 micro coulomb

                                    = \frac{2}{5}\times 15 = 6

So, the number of filed lines terminates at - 2 micro Coulomb are 6.

4. How much force is required to stop a 60 kg person traveling at 30 m/s during a time of a)
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

F = ma, and a = Δv / Δt.

F = m Δv / Δt

Given: m = 60 kg and Δv = -30 m/s.

a) Δt = 5.0 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (5.0 s)

F = -360 N

b) Δt = 0.50 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.50 s)

F = -3600 N

c) Δt = 0.05 s

F = (60 kg) (-30 m/s) / (0.05 s)

F = -36000 N
