Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are inversely proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding decrease in the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable would cause a corresponding increase in the other variable.

Given that loudness, L varies inversely with the square of the distance, d², if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression becomes

L = k/d²

If L = 60 when d = 8, then

60 = k/8² = k/64

k = 60 × 64 = 3840

Therefore, the inverse variation equation is

L = 3840/d²

When d = 41, then

L = 3840/41²

L = 2.28 decibels

Answer:

The jetski is 2.28 dB loud when the person is 41 feet away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loudness (L) ∝ 1 / Distance² (d²)

Introduce a constant 'K'

L = K (1/d²)

L = K/d²

K = Ld²

Find the K from a previously known information: If a person 8 feet from a jetski hears 60 decibels loud

∴ d = 8 ft , L = 60 db

K = 60(8²) = <em>3840</em>

How loud is the jetski when the person is 41 feet away?

Distance is now 41 ft

since: L = K/d²

∴ L = 3840 / 41²

L = 3840 / 1681

L = 2.28 db

How do you find whether ratios are proportional
alexandr1967 [171]
Hello wonderful person!!


Okay, so first of all, welcome to brainy
Second, you have to determine whether they are equal to each other and are the same. For example, if i say 2/4 is equal to 4/8, it's considered proportional. 


Hope you understand this, and have a GREAT day!! :)

-2=-(n-8)=<br> Help please!??
motikmotik

Answer:

n = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

move all terms to the left:

-2-(-(n-8))=0

calculate terms in parentheses: -(-(n-8)), so:

-(n-8)

get rid of parentheses

-n+8

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1n+8

go back to the equation:

-(-1n+8)

get rid of parentheses

1n-8-2=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

n-10=0

move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right

n=10

A circuit contains two capacitors rated at 0.02 microfrads and 0.05 microfrads connected in series the circuits Source voltage i
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

  about 0.0143 microfarads

Step-by-step explanation:

The effective capacitance of capacitors in series is the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals:

  1/(1/0.02 +1/0.05) = 1/(50+20) = 1/70 ≈ 0.0143 . . . microfarads
