Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

\rho = Density of medium

A = Area

\nu = Frequency

\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2

Intensity of sound is given by

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2

So,

I\propto \nu^2

We get

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

The ratio is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

a 2000 kg truck is moving eastward at 25 m/s. it collides inelastically with a 1500 kg truck traveling southward at 30 m/s. they
Otrada [13]

According to the given statement Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

<h3>What is collision and momentum?</h3>

The unit of momentum is kg ms -1. Momentum is a vector parameter that is influenced by the object's direction. During collisions involving objects, momentum is a relevant concept. The final velocity before a collision between two objects equals the total motion after the impact (in the absence of external forces).

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

m u +M U =(m+M) V

2000×25 i^ +1500×30 j^​ =(2000+1500) V

V = 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

The complete question is -

A 2000 kg truck is moving eastward at 25 m/s. it collides inelastically with a 1500 kg truck traveling southward at 30 m/s. they collide at the intersection. Find the direction and magnitude of velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming the vehicles stick together after the collision.

Help fast please due tomorrow
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Contemporary light microscopes are able to magnify objects up to about a thousand times. Since most cells are between 1 and 100 μm in diameter, they can be observed by light microscopy, as can some of the larger subcellular organelles, such as nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

A cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), is called an organism. Thus, cells are the basic building blocks of all organisms.

Cells have many structures inside of them called organelles. These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA.

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.

ehidna [41]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I)<span> of a light </span>is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>
