Answer:

Explanation:

The hippopotamus hearing threshold is 100dB

β = 100 dB

The threshold of human hearing is Io = 1 × 10^-12 W/m²

The sound intensity level is given as

β = 10•Log(I / Io)

100 = 10•Log(I / Io)

Divided Both sides by 10

100 / 10 = Log(I / Io)

10 = Log(I / Io)

Take inverse Logarithm ( antilog) of both sides

10^10 = 10^[Log(I / Io)]

10^10 = I / Io

Then,

I = 10^10 × Io

I = 10^10 × 1 × 10^-12

I = 1 × 10^-2 W/m²

I = 0.01 W/m²

The sound intensity is 0.01 W/m²

A machine
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Power_input = 85.71 [W]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force [N] (units of Newton)

d = distance [m]

We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.

Now replacing:

W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J]

Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

P=\frac{W}{t}

where:

P = power [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J]

t = time = 40 [s]

P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W]

The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.

Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W]

A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.

If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

Direct current, DC, flows in a _________ direction while alternating current, AC, the direction of flow ___________. A) single,
kramer
The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D. 

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.
