How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the

Physics
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound wave is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

P is power

A is area

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

or

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}, r is distance from the source

If the distance from the  source is increased by a factor of 4, r' = 4r

So,

I'=\dfrac{1}{r'^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{(4r)^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{I}{16}

So, the new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

un conductor de plata (p=1,6x10°-6ohm x m) tiene una seccion de 5x10°-6 m°2 y una longitud de 110 m . calcular la resistencia
Alexus [3.1K]

Responder:

35,2 ohm.

Explicación:

Dado:

La resistencia específica del conductor es,

La longitud del conductor es,

El área de la sección transversal del conductor es,

Sabemos que la resistencia de un conductor es directamente proporcional a su longitud e inversamente proporcional al área de la sección transversal.

Por lo tanto, la resistencia se puede expresar como:

R=\frac{\rho\times l}{A}

Ahora, conecte los valores dados y resuelva para 'R'. Esto da,

R=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-6}\ ohm\cdot m\times 110\ m}{5\times 10^{-6}\ m^2}\\\\R=35.2\ ohm

Por lo tanto, la resistencia del conductor es de 35,2 ohm.

What is the potential energy of an object 20 m in the air with a<br> mass of 600 kg?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

  • Mass (m) = 600 kg
  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

  • Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

  • Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

  • Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is <u>117600 Joules.</u>

Increasing the number of bulbs in a series circuit decreases the brightness of the bulbs. In a series circuit, the voltage is equally distributed among all of the bulbs. Bulbs in parallel are brighter than bulbs in series. In a parallel circuit the voltage for each bulb is the same as the voltage in the circuit.
