Answer:

Halley's comet will next appear in the night sky in the year 2062. It orbits the sun every 75-76 years, so this is the time between appearances.

Answer:

t = 6 s

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise

y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

If the balloon is released its initial velocity is zero, when it reaches the floor its height is also zero, we substitute

0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

t = √(2yo / g)

let's calculate

t = √ (2 176.4 / 9.8)

t = 6 s

the balloon must be released 6 s before the person reaches the building

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.

marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

$B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB$

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

$v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s$

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

$f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )$

where;

-v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
-vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
fs is the source frequency
fo is the observed frequency
v is speed of sound

$f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )$

$f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz$
