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.

Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?
worty [1.4K]
Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!

Which is not true about the variables in the relationship F = ma?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because D is definitely true and there is only one false sentence what means if that non of B or C is false because if one is false so other one needs to be too.

A force F with arrow applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 3.10 m/s2. The same force applied to a second o
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b)  the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases,  M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1.8}{3.1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = 0.581

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{M} \\\\a =  \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{0.581m_2 + m_2}\\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2}

But, m_2 = \frac{F}{a_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2} =  \frac{F*a_2}{1.581F} \\\\a = \frac{a_2}{1.581} \\\\a = \frac{1.8}{1.581} = 1.139 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²
