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

If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.50 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at²   .........1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)²     ........................1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5)    ..................2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5)  + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Because the moon rotates once for each revolution around Earth,
irina [24]
Good Morning, how are you?

Your answer is C. The moon orbits and rotates the same, so we NEVER see the far side of the moon from earth :)

Have a great day :)
