Answer:

The change in intensity is 63%.

Explanation:

intensity level = 18 db

Let the intensity is I.

Io = 10^(-12) W/m^2

Use the formula of intensity

$dB = 10 log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\18 = 10 log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\1.8 = log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )=63.1$

So, the change in intensity is 63%.

Water enters a baseboard radiator at 180 °F and at a flow rate of 2.0 gpm. Assuming the radiator releases heat into the room at

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Temperature of water leaving the radiator = 160°F

Explanation:

Heat released = (ṁcΔT)

Heat released = 20000 btu/hr = 5861.42 W

ṁ = mass flowrate = density × volumetric flow rate

Volumetric flowrate = 2 gallons/min = 0.000126 m³/s; density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ṁ = 1000 × 0.000126 = 0.126 kg/s

c = specific heat capacity for water = 4200 J/kg.K

H = ṁcΔT = 5861.42

ΔT = 5861.42/(0.126 × 4200) = 11.08 K = 11.08°C

And in change in temperature terms,

10°C= 18°F

11.08°C = 11.08 × 18/10 = 20°F

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

20 = 180 - T₂

T₂ = 160°F

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin

bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

$P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s$

$P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s$

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum = $P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s$

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

B. 68.6m

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

$\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=68.54\ m$

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

In which case would electrical potential energy be built up and stored in the electric field? a) A positive charge is moved towa

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Although, it is common knowledge that in an electric field, unlike charges attract and like charges repel. However, to build up an electric potential, a positive charge is brought close to another positive charge - this causes work done to be changed to electric potential energy and stored in the electric field.

It should however be noted that when a negative charge is moved away from a positive charge, the negative charge gains electric potential energy.

Find equivalent resistance. Answer asap and please, please don't spam.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

R = 4.77 ohms

Explanation:

Four resistors are given such that,

R₁ = 2 ohms

R₂ = 3 ohms

R₃ = 5 ohms

R₄ = 10 ohms

Here, R₁ and R₂ in series. The equivalent is given by :

R₁₂ = R₁ + R₂

= 2 + 5

R₁₂ = 7 ohms

Similarly, R₃ and R₄ are in series. so,

R₃₄ = R₃ + R₄

= 10+5

R₃₄ = 15 ohms

Now, R₁₂ and R₃₄ are in parallel. So,

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{12}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{34}}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{7}+\dfrac{1}{15}\\\\R=4.77\ \Omega$

So, the equivalent resistance s 4.77 ohms.
