Sam and George are riding in separate cars on the freeway. The lanes they are driving in are adjacent. We choose our coordinate

system so that both are traveling into the positive x-direction. Sam travels at 65 mph and George travels at 72 mph. (a) What is Sam’s velocity relative to George? (b) What is George’s velocity relative to Sam?

Answer:

(a) Relative speed of Sam = -7 mph

(b) Relative speed of George = 7 mph

Explanation:

We have given speed of Sam 65 mph in north direction.

And speed of George is 72 mph also in north direction

We have find the relative velocity of both Sam and George

(a) Speed of Sam relative to George = speed of Sam - speed of George = 65 -72 = -7 mph

(b) Speed of George with respect to Sam = speed of George - speed of Sam = 72-65 = 7 mph

The loudness l of a sound, measured in decibels, is given by l=10log10r, where r is the sound's relative intensity. suppose one
marishachu [46]

Answer

given,                              

I is the loudness of sound

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                  

r is relative intensity                    

at when relative intensity is 10⁶        

I = 60 dB                                                  

how much louder when 100 people would be talking together

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁶ x 100)  

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁸)                

I = 80 dB                      

hence, the intensity will be increased by (80 dB -60 dB) 20 dB when 100 people start talking together.

A young boy of mass m = 25 kg sits on a coiled spring that has been compressed to a length 0.4 m shorter than its uncompressed l
rewona [7]
The spring's elastic potential energy is converted into elastic potential energy of the boy.
Potential energy = elastic energy
mgh = 1/2 kx²
k = (2 * 25 * 9.81 * 0.5) / 0.4²
k = 1533 N/m

We will apply
2as = v² - u², with u = 0
a = F/m
F = kx
a = kx/m

v = √(2 x 0.4 x (0.4 x 1533 / 25))
v = 4.43 m/s

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The answer to this question is "Greater than". As per the OSHA or Organizational Health and Health Organization, a noise level of 95 DB or decibels is greater than the lowest level at which hearing protection is required in 85 decibels and the person's exposure should be limited only to six hours or less than of it.
