Answer:

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current is defined as the ratio of the quantity of charge flowing through a conductor to the time taken.

i.e I = $\frac{Q}{t}$ ...................(1)

It is measure in Amperes and can be measured in the laboratory by the use of an ammeter.

In the given question, I = 1.5A, t = 2s, find Q.

From equation 1,

Q = I × t

= 1.5 × 2

= 3.0 Coulombs

The amount of electrons that flow in the given time is 3.0 C.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

To understand the decibel scale. The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale for measuring the sound intensity level. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, it changes by an additive constant when the intensity when the intensity as measured in W/m² changes by a multiplicative factor. The number of decibels increase by 10 for a factor of 10 increase in intensity. The general formula for the sound intensity level, in decibels, corresponding to intensity I is

$\beta=10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}} )dB$ ,

where $I_{0}$ is a reference intensity. for sound waves, $I_{0}$ is taken to be $10^{-12} W/m^{2}$ . Note that log refers to the logarithm to the base 10.

Part A: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 10 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=10I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part B: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 100 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=100I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part C: Calculate the change in decibels ( $\Delta \beta_{2},\Delta \beta_{4}$ and $\Delta \beta_{8}$ ) corresponding to f = 2, f = 4 and f = 8. Give your answer, separated by commas, to the nearest integer -- this will give an accuracy of 20%, which is good enough for sound.

Answer and Explanation: Using the formula for sound intensity level:

A) $I=10I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{10I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(10 )$

β = 10

The sound Intensity level with intensity 10x is 10dB.

B) $I=100I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{100I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(100)$

β = 20

With intensity 100x, level is 20dB.

C) To calculate the change, take the f to be the factor of increase:

For $\Delta \beta_{2}$ :

$I=2I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{2I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(2)$

β = 3

For $\Delta \beta_{4}$ :

$I=4I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{4I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(4)$

β = 6

For $\Delta \beta_{8}$ :

$I=8I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{8I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

β = 9

Change is

$\Delta \beta_{2},\Delta \beta_{4}$ , $\Delta \beta_{8}$ = 3,6,9 dB

What makes gravity work

olganol [36]

Well we have two concepts of gravity now. In Newton's concept masses create forces between them. In Einstein's concept mass distorts time and space around it and makes masses move as if there are forces between them.
So whichever concept you prefer it's the presence of mass that creates gravity.

A blimp flying around over the Super Bowl has ____ energy.

Rainbow [258]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. A blimp flying around over the Super Bowl has both kinetic and potential energy. It initially posses potential energy then as it moves te said energy is converted to kinetic energy. Hope this answers the question.

The dirt pushing back is the 'resistance' force. It RESISTS your attempts to shovel it.
