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)

A camera lens with focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2
Brut [27]

Answer:

The minimum distance between two points on the  object that are barely resolved is 0.26 mm

The corresponding distance between the  image points = 0.0015 m

Explanation:

Given  

focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2

s =  9.0 m

aperture = 25 mm = 25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 1.22 *wavelength /D  

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Sin a = 1.22 *600 *10^-9 m /25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 2.93 * 10 ^-5 rad

Now  

Y/9.0 m = 2.93 * 10 ^-5

Y = 2.64 *10^-4 m = 0.26 mm

Y’/50 *10^-3 = 2.93 * 10 ^-5  

Y’ = 0.0015 m

Why is it cold in the mountains if heat rises?
hjlf

Answer:

look at explanation

Explanation:

If heat rises, then why is it so cold at the top of a mountain? Heat does indeed rise. More specifically, a mass of air that is warmer than the air around it expands, becomes less dense, and will therefore float atop the cooler air. ... So when warm air rises, it cools off.

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i
attashe74 [19]
Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be 
\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}

The applied force is
\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}&#10;

By definition, the applied torque is
\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}

Answer: 12.5y \, \hat{k}
