Answer:

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The definition of the intensity in terms of power is given by:

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where:

  • P is the power
  • A is the area

If the sound emits uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections, we can assume the geometry of the wave sound is spherical.

Let's recall the area of a sphere is A = 4\pi R^{2}

To the first location we have:

I_{1}=3*10^{-4} W/m^{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}

and to the second location we have:

I_{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}

Now, we can divide each intensity to find the second intensity.

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}}{\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}}

I_{2}=I_{1}* \frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=3*10^{-4}\frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

I = 2.4*10⁻⁵ W

Explanation:

  • By definition the intensity of a sound source, is the power emitted from the source divided by the area of the surface covered by the sound waves.
  • Assuming that the source is a point source, so it emits sound uniformly in all directions, and there are no reflections, this area  is just the area of a sphere centered in the point source and with radius equal to the distance between the source and the point where the intensity is measured, as follows:

       I = \frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2}}  (1)

  • If I and r are givens of the problem, we can solve (1) for P, as follows:

       P = I*4*\pi *r^{2} = 3.0e-4*4*\pi * (22m)^{2} = 1.83 W  (2)

  • Since the power is the same at any distance from the source, we can obtain the new value of I, replacing in (1) the value of P and the new value of r, as follows:

       I = \frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2}} = \frac{1.83W}{4*\pi *(78m)^{2}} =2.4e-5 W/m2 (3)

SVETLANKA909090 [29]
The correct answer is B. Fuse.

Fuses were commonly used in houses up to recent ages, when circuit breakers became the more popular options, as they don't have to be changed every time they melt, since they don't melt.

Which of newton's three laws is the hardest to describe or explain when viewing common occurrences?
choli [55]

Newton's second law is the hardest to describe as it is about momentum  (F = ma), and a lot of people don't know the concept of momentum.

Newton's first law of motion:- every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's 2nd law of motion:-the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the item's mass. Newton's 2nd law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

Newton's 3rd law of motion:- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Alexxx [7]
Impulse = mass * volume is the most common equation, but you can also calculate impulse by Force * time.  So if we increase the force we need to decrease the time.

A car accelerate uniformly from rest at 5m/s2 . Determine it's speed after 10s​
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

50m/s.

Explanation:

Let's take acceleration as A and speed as S:

A = 5m/s²

S = A × 10s = 5 × 10 = 50m/s

The answer is 50m/s.
