How does a theory differ from a theory

Both of those terms are widely used in higher education, particularly in the sciences. Their technical definitions, as well as their common underlying meanings, are precisely identical. So you can use either one without any fear of being corrected or misunderstood.

Answer:

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Part A

I = 1.4 mW/m²

Part B

β = 91.46 dB

Explanation:

Part A

Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.

For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

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

Where;

P is the source of power in watts (W)

I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)

r is the distance r away

Given:

P = 34 W,

A = 1.0 cm²

r = 44 m

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;

$I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}$

I = 0.0013975 W/m²

≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²

I = 1.4 mW/m²

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².

Part B

Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.

Sound intensity level is calculated as;

β $= 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{0}}$ dB

Where,

β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)

I is the sound intensity;

I₀ is the reference sound intensity;

By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

∴ β $= 10log_{10}\frac{1.4 * 10^{-3} W/m^{2}}{1.0 * 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}$

β $= 10log_{10} (1.4 * 10^{9})$

β = 91.46 dB

The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.

A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s
