Answer:

The work done on the box is 80 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of box = 40 N

Distance = 2 meter

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times x$

$W=mg\times x$

Where, x = distance

mg = weight

Put the value into the formula

$W=40\times2$

$W= 80\ Nm$

$W=80\ J$

Hence, The work done on the box is 80 J.

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
$I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}$
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1$
The intensity at r=3 m will be
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}$
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor $1/9$ .
