Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the receiver.
That is 
I = k/r^2
 where
 k = constant
 r = radius

When r=1,  the intensity is I₁ = k/1 = k
When r=3, the intensity I₂ = k/3² = k/9
Therefore
 I₂ = I₁ /9

In decibels,
I = 10 log₁₀(I/I₀)
where I₀ = reference intensity

When r=1,
10 log₁₀ (I₁/I₀) = 270

When r =3,
10 log₁₀ (I₂/I₀) = 10 log₁₀ [(I₂/I₁)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀ [(1/9)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀(1/9) + 270
                     = 260.5

Answer: 260.5 dB (nearest tenth)

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

\Delta V = E d

where

\Delta V is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m

d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m

Substituting, we find

\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V
