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

These biogeochemical cycles, from its terminology and discernable word morphology- involves the biological, geological and chemical components that make out to complete an exact and purposed cycle.

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision

marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m$ .

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$t=377,29s$

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

$x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y'=y$

$z'=z$

$t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y=y'$

$z=z'$

$t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

$\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}$

$\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714$

then we calculate t

$t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}$

finally we get that

$t=377,29s$

then we calculate x

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=103462740775,91m$

finally we get that

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m$

Use Eq. cosϕ=R/Z to show that the average power delivered by the source in an L−R−C series circuit is given by Pav = I^2rmsR .

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a L C R circuit, the average power is given by

$P_{av}=V_{rms}I_{rms}Cos\phi$

As given in the question

CosФ = R / Z

And we know that

$V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times Z$

So

$P_{av}=I_{rms}\times Z\times I_{rms}\times \frac{R}{Z}$

$P_{av}=I_{rms}^{2}\times R$

A rugby player sits on a scrum machine that weighs 200 Newtons. Given that the coefficient of static friction is 0.67, the coeff

Trava [24]

a. 850 N is the minimum force needed to get the machine/player system moving, which means this is the maximum magnitude of static friction between the system and the surface they stand on.

By Newton's second law, at the moment right before the system starts to move,

• net horizontal force

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[s. friction] = 0

• net vertical force

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

and we have

F[s. friction] = µ[s] F[normal]

It follows that

F[weight] = F[normal] = (850 N) / (0.67) = 1268.66 N

where F[weight] is the combined weight of the player and machine. We're given the machine's weight is 200 N, so the player weighs 1068.66 N and hence has a mass of

(1068.66 N) / g ≈ 110 kg

b. To keep the system moving at a constant speed, the second-law equations from part (a) change only slightly to

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[k. friction] = 0

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

so that

F[k. friction] = µ[k] F[normal] = 0.56 (1268.66 N) = 710.45 N

and so the minimum force needed to keep the system moving is

F[push] = 710.45 N ≈ 710 N
