Velocity - v =0 m/s,

initial velocity - v(0)= 40 m/s

a - acceleration,

time - t = 12 s.

v=v(0) - at

0 = 40m/s - a*12s

12a = 40

a = 3.3 m/s²

Levart [38]

Answer:

(A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}$

$m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}$

$m=5.65 = 6$

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

$\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}$

$\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m$

$\beta=3.33\ \mu m$

Hence, (A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

A sound source emits 20.0 W of acoustical power spread equally in all directions. The threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.0018 W/m²

Explanation:

Power and intensity are related as:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

P= 20.0 W (given)

r = 30.0 m (given)

$I=\frac{20.0}{4\pi(30.0)^2}=0.0018 W/m^2$

Intensity in decibels:

$I(dB)=10log\frac{I}{I_o}\\=10log\frac{0.0018}{10^{-12}}=92.5 dB$
