5. What do you think? At a baseball game, when you are far from the batter, you might see the batter hit the ball before you hea

happens?

Answer:

The speed of sound in air is lower compared to in solids and liquids.

Explanation:

Sound is a wave that can be generated by a vibrating body. Its speed through different media differs due to the nature of the media.

Since the molecules of solids are closely packed, sound can be easily transferred from one molecule to another at a faster rate. Thus, the high speed of sound in solids.

In liquids, the molecules are not as closely packed as solids. So that  the speed of sound though liquids is lower compared to that of solids. Gases has its molecules farther apart, thus making the speed of sound through it the lowest compared to solids and liquids.

Therefore the sound of the batter hitting the ball is heard latter, due to its lower speed through the air.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

            β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_o}

let's write this expression for our case

           β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

           β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

           

          β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o})

          β₂ - β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_1}

          log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{60 - 20}{10} = 3

           \frac{I_2}{I_1} = 10³

           I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

           I = P / A

           P = I A

the area is of a sphere

          A = 4π r²

           

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

          P =  I₁ A₁ =  I₂ A₂

          I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

          I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

         r₁² = 10³ r₂²

         

         r₂ = r₁ / √10³

         

we calculate

          r₂ = \frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }

          r₂ = 0.316 m

Can you please tell me what this is
Anna [14]

Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.

Define relative density​
weeeeeb [17]

Hello There!

Relative density is another word for specific gravity. Relative density is comparing the density of one thing to the density of another. Most of the time, you look at the density of water so we look at the density of an object relative to the density of water.
