Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?

sp2606 [1]

$1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$ ). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB). Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

$\text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)$

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

$I_{0}$ = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = $1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

$19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}$

$\log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9$

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

$\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}$

$I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}$

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel fry

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

N = 6.67 N

Explanation:

The frictional or frictional force is a force that arises from the contact of two bodies and opposes movement.

The friction is due to imperfections and roughness, mainly microscopic, that exist on the surfaces of the bodies. Upon contact, these roughnesses engage with each other making movement difficult. To minimize the effect of friction, either the surfaces are polished or lubricated, since the oil fills the imperfections, preventing them from snagging.

As the frictional force depends on the materials and the force exerted on one another, its magnitude is obtained by the following expression:

f = μ*N Formula (1)

where:

f is the friction force (N)

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal force (N)

Data

f = 0.2 N : frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan

μ = 0.03 :coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials

Calculating of normal force

We replace data in the formula (1)

f = μ*N

0.2 = 0.03*N

N = 0.2 / 0.03

N = 6.67 N
