Answer:

The intensity of 4 lawn movers is 86 dB.

Explanation:

Intensity of one lawnmower = 80 dB

Let the intensity is I.

Use the formula of intensity

dB = 10 log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\80=10log\left ( \frac{I}{Io} \right )\\\\10^8 = \frac{I}{10^{-12}}\\\\I = 10^{-4} W/m^2

Now the intensity of 4 lawn movers is

dB = 10 log\left ( \frac{4I}{Io} \right )\\\\dB=10log\left ( \frac{4\times10^{-4}}{10^{-12}} \right )\\\\dB = 86 dB\\

I need help finding the acceleration.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Second law of motion.

Explanation:

According to second law of motion Force is equals to mass multiplied by acceleration.

Here, Mass is given which is 10 kilograms.

         Force is given which is 100 Newton.

So, by putting the values of mass and force in the formula of second law of motion we will get the value of acceleration which is 10 meters per second per second.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, E={h\times \nu}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.
