Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, t, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

To understand the decibel scale. The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale for measuring the sound intensity level. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, it changes by an additive constant when the intensity when the intensity as measured in W/m² changes by a multiplicative factor. The number of decibels increase by 10 for a factor of 10 increase in intensity. The general formula for the sound intensity level, in decibels, corresponding to intensity I is

$\beta=10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}} )dB$ ,

where $I_{0}$ is a reference intensity. for sound waves, $I_{0}$ is taken to be $10^{-12} W/m^{2}$ . Note that log refers to the logarithm to the base 10.

Part A: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 10 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=10I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part B: What is the sound intensity level β, in decibels, of a sound wave whose intensity is 100 times the reference intensity, i.e. $I=100I_{0}$ ? Express the sound intensity numerically to the nearest integer.

Part C: Calculate the change in decibels ( $\Delta \beta_{2},\Delta \beta_{4}$ and $\Delta \beta_{8}$ ) corresponding to f = 2, f = 4 and f = 8. Give your answer, separated by commas, to the nearest integer -- this will give an accuracy of 20%, which is good enough for sound.

Answer and Explanation: Using the formula for sound intensity level:

A) $I=10I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{10I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(10 )$

β = 10

The sound Intensity level with intensity 10x is 10dB.

B) $I=100I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{100I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(100)$

β = 20

With intensity 100x, level is 20dB.

C) To calculate the change, take the f to be the factor of increase:

For $\Delta \beta_{2}$ :

$I=2I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{2I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(2)$

β = 3

For $\Delta \beta_{4}$ :

$I=4I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{4I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

$\beta=10log(4)$

β = 6

For $\Delta \beta_{8}$ :

$I=8I_{0}$

$\beta=10log(\frac{8I_{0}}{I_{0}} )$

β = 9

Change is

$\Delta \beta_{2},\Delta \beta_{4}$ , $\Delta \beta_{8}$ = 3,6,9 dB

A weightless spring is stretched 10 cm by a suspended 1-kg block. If two such springs are used to suspend the block, one spring

leva [86]

Answer:

total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm

Explanation:

given data

length x1 = 10 cm

mass = 1 kg

mass = double = 2 kg

to find out

the total stretch of the double-length spring will be

solution

we can say here spring constant is

k = mg ............1

k is spring constant and m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

so for in 1st case and 2nd case with 1 kg mass and 2 kg mass

kx1 = mg .........................2

and

kx2 = 2mg ........................3

x is length

so from equation 2 and 3

$\frac{kx1}{kx2}= \frac{1mg}{2mg}$

$\frac{x1}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{10}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}$

x2 = 20

so total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm

An infinite sheet carries a uniform, positive charge per unit area. The electric field produced by the sheet is represented by p

nexus9112 [7]

Complete Question

An infinite sheet carries a uniform, positive charge per unit area. The electric field produced by the sheet is represented by parallel lines drawn with a density N lines per m2 that are perpendicular to and away from the sheet. The charge per unit area on the sheet is doubled. How should the density of the electric field lines be changed?

A It should stay the same

B It should be quadrupled.

C It should be quintupled

D It should be doubled.

E It should be tripled

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}$

Where $\sigma$ is the charge per unit area (Charge density )

From the question we are told that $\sigma$ is doubled hence the

$E = \frac{2 \sigma }{\epsilon_o}$

Looking the equation above we see that the value of the electric field will also double given that it is directly proportional to the charge density

The hydronium ion concentration of your gastric fluid is 1.0 x 10^-2. you drink a tablespoon of milk of magnesia, which raises t

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³

Explanation:

Since the hydronium ion concentration of the gastric fluid is [H₃O]⁺ = 1.0 × 10⁻².

The pH at this point is pH = -log₁₀[H₃O]⁺ = -log₁₀[1.0 × 10⁻²] = 2

When milk of magnesia is added, the pH increases by one unit, so the new pH is 1 + 2 = 3

Since pH + pOH = 14, then pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3 = 11

The hydroxide ion concentration of the fluid is gotten from

pOH = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

11 = -log₁₀[OH⁻]

-11 = log₁₀[OH⁻]

taking antilog

[OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mol/dm³
