The human ear can respond to an extremely large range of intensities - the quietest sound the ear can hear is smaller than 10-20

times the threshold which causes damage after brief exposure. If you could measure distances over the same range with a single instrument, and the smallest distance you could measure was 1 mm, what would the largest be, in kilometers?

Answer:

the largest distance we can measure is 10¹⁴ km

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Threshold hearing = 10⁻²⁰

smallest distance measured = 1 mm

Largest distance measured will be;

⇒ ( threshold hearing )⁻¹ × smallest distance

= ( 1 / 10⁻²⁰ ) × 1 mm

= 10²⁰ × 1mm

= 10²⁰ mm

we know that; 1000 mm = 10⁶ km

Largest distance = ( 10²⁰ / 10⁶ ) km

= 10¹⁴ km

Therefore, the largest distance we can measure is 10¹⁴ km

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A ,   n 1  =  4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B ,   n 2  =  3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A ,   K A  =  9500  J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B ,   Δ K  =  600 J

Gas constant   R  = 8.314  J / molK

Let  K B  be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J

Suppose astronomers built a 20-meter telescope. How much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter Ke
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4 times greater

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Calculate light-collecting area of a  20-meter telescope (A₁) by using area of a circle.

Area of circle = π*r² =\frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

Where d is the diameter of the circle = 20-m

A_{1} = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

A_{1} = \frac{\pi (20^{2})}{4}

A₁ = 314.2 m²

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate light-collecting area of a  10-meter Keck telescope (A₂)

A_{2} = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

Where d is the diameter of the circle = 10-m

A_{2} = \frac{\pi (10^{2})}{4}

A₂ = 78.55 m²

<u>Step 3</u>: divide A₁ by A₂  

= \frac{314.2 m^2}{78.55 m^2}

= 4

Therefor,  the 20-meter telescope light-collecting area would be 4 times greater than that of the 10-meter Keck telescope.

Please assist with solving this problem and showing the steps
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

2.21 N

Explanation:

The force in this case is the total mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. You are not asked for the solution to be in terms of the torque which is the usual way to solve these problems. That's why you are not given where the fulcrum is.

The fulcrum feels F1 + F2 + 34 * 980

F2 = 141.7 * 980 = 138866

F1 = 50.3 * 980  =  49294

Ruler = 34 * 980=  33320

Total Force = 221480 The units here are dynes

I just saw in the middle of the question that g = 9.80

So the answer becomes 221480 / 1000 = 221.48   because we needed kg

And that answer becomes 221.48/100 2.21 because the force of gravity should be 9.8 not 980

The total force exerted on the fulcrum is
