Answer:

The sound intensity of train is 1000 times greater than that of the library.

Explanation:

We have expression for sound intensity level,

            L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )

A train whistle has a sound intensity level of 70 dB

We have

           70=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_1}{I_0}\right )

A library has a sound intensity level of about 40 dB

We also have

           40=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_2}{I_0}\right )

Dividing both equations

           \frac{70}{40}=\frac{10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_1}{I_0}\right )}{10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_2}{I_0}\right )}\\\\\frac{7}{4}=\frac{log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_1}{I_0}\right )}{log_{10}\left ( \frac{I_2}{I_0}\right )}\\\\10^7\frac{I_2}{I_0}=10^4\frac{I_1}{I_0}\\\\\frac{I_1}{I_2}=10^3=1000

The sound intensity of train is 1000 times greater than that of the library.

What's the weight of a 30x30x50 cm body with the density of 1.8/cm cube?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The weight of the body, W = 793.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The volume of the body, v = 45,000 cm³

The density of the body, ρ = 1.8 g/cm³

The mass of the body is given by the formula,

                                  m = ρ x v

                                      = 1.8 g/cm³ x 45,000 cm³

                                      = 81,000 g

Hence, the mass of the body is m = 81 kg

The weight of the body,

                                           W = m x g

                                                = 81 kg x 9.8 m/s²

                                                = 793.8 m/s²

Hence, the weight of the body, W = 793.8 m/s²

What is capacitance?
WARRIOR [948]

capacitance of any given capacitor is given by the formula,

C=Q/V

where C=capacitance,Q= charge and V=voltage

therefore from the formula capacitance is charge per unit voltage.

Kryger [21]
To find the solution to the problem, we would be using Planck's equation which is E = hv
Where:
E = energy
h = Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s
ν = frequency
Then, you’ll need a second equation which is c = λν
Where:
c = speed of light = 3 x 108 m/sec
λ = wavelength
ν = frequency
Reorder the equation to solve for frequency:ν = c/λ
Next, substitute frequency in the first equation with c/λ to get a formula you can use:
E = hν
E = hc/λ
But we are looking for the wavelength, so rearrange it more, then our final equation would be:
λ = hc / E 
λ = (6.625E-34)(3.0E8 m/s) / (1.06E-13) 
λ = 1.875E-12 m
