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

stepan [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong

Find the volume of a sphere of radius 10 mm.
vredina [299]

Answer:

Explanation: This is done using the equation:

\frac{4}{3} π R^{3}

Because the Radius is a know value. We have the following.

\frac{4}{3} π (10mm)^{3}

Which is:

4188.7902 mm

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.

A basketball player spins the ball with an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s2. What is the ball’s final angular velocity if the b
Lena [83]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The angular acceleration of the basketball, \alpha=10\ rad/s^2

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

We need to find the ball’s final angular velocity if the ball starts from rest. It can be calculated using definition of angular acceleration i.e.

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

\omega_i=0\ (rest)

\omega_f=\alpha t

\omega_f=10\ rad/s^2\times 3\ s

\omega=30\ rad/s

So, the ball's final angular velocity is 30 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
