Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.

Because they would be more accurate. And they would start and stop instantly. A human being.

What is the volume V of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper? The atomic mass of copper (Cu) is 63.5 g/mol, and the density of copper

rusak2 [61]

Answer : The volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of copper.

$\text{ Mass of copper}=\text{ Moles of copper}\times \text{ Molar mass of copper}$

$\text{ Mass of copper}=(4.00moles)\times (63.5g/mole)=254g$

Now we have to calculate the volume of copper.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3=\frac{254g}{Volume}$

$Volume=\frac{254g}{8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3}=2.85\times 10^{-2}L=2.85\times 10^{-2}\times 10^3cm^3=28.5cm^3$

Conversion used :

$1kg/m^3=1g/L\\\\1L=10^3cm^3$

Therefore, the volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$

A listener increases his distance from a sound source by a factor of 4.49.

noname [10]

Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

I ∝ 1/r²

I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1

When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.

Then,

r₂/r₁= 4.49

From equation 1

I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²

I₁/I₂ = 20.16

I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16

The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as

Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB
