Answer:

 5 × 10¹⁰ or 5 billion times louder is the intensity of sound at a rock concert in comparison with that of a whisper

Explanation:

Given that at a rock concert;

the intensity of sound is 110 dB compared to a whisper of 3 dB

Now; how many times louder will that of the whisper be compared to the sound of the rock concert

Using the formula for calculating decibels (dB);

For 110 dB

dB = 10log₁₀(W)

110 dB =  10^{(110/10)}

110 dB = 10¹¹

For 3dB

dB = 10log₁₀(W)

3 dB = 10^{(3/10)}

3 dB = 2

Now:

(110/3)dB = 10¹¹/2

(110/3)dB =  5 × 10¹⁰ or 5 billion times louder is the intensity of sound at a rock concert in comparison with that of a whisper

The velocity of a 1.3 kg block sliding down a frictionless inclined plane is found to be 1.26 m/s. 1.10 s later, it has a veloci
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

\theta = 25.3^\circ

Explanation:

The acceleration of the block can be found by the kinematics equations:

v = v_0 + at\\5.88 = 1.26 + a(1.1)\\a = 4.2~m/s^2

Since the plane is frictionless, the only force acting on the block along the motion of the block is its weight.

F = mg\sin(\theta) = ma\\g\sin(\theta) = a\\(9.8)\sin(\theta) = 4.2\\\theta = 25.3^\circ

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m.What is th
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

katrin [286]

Answer:

90°

Explanation:

The angle will be 90° when momentum for a system can be conserved in one direction while not being conserved in another.

The example can be

If we apply force on an object horizontally in west direction, then as in other direction south or north we cannot apply the principal of momentum conservation.

A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of
mina [271]

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s
