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%.

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at +164 m/s undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationary carbon nucleus of m
Irina18 [472]
The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:

m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,

m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂'  --> equation 1

The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is

(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' =  -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.

When sanitizing dishcloths or cutting boards at home using chlorine bleach, how much bleach should be added, per quart of water?
ahrayia [7]

When using chlorine bleach, the proper amount for one gallon of water is 8 ounces, or one cup. Now, since there's 4 quarts in a gallon,divide the 8 ounces by 4. You get 2. So you should put 2 ounces (or 1/4 cup) of chlorine bleach in a quart of water. Hope this helps!
