Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

Iron atoms are heavier than gold atoms

Explanation:

Chart:

Materials Specific heat

Gold 0.129

Iron 0.45

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1K.

We can see that the more the mass of a substance, the higher the specific heat needed to raise the temperature.

Specific heat is directly proportional to the mass of substance.

It also dependent on the amount of heat supplied and the nature of the substance.

The mass of a body is the amount of substance it contains.
A heavier substance has more number of atoms in it.
Since iron has a higher specific it, the atoms must be heavier or more than that of gold.

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 34 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.0 cm2 area is 44 m fr

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Part A

I = 1.4 mW/m²

Part B

β = 91.46 dB

Explanation:

Part A

Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.

For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}$

Where;

P is the source of power in watts (W)

I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)

r is the distance r away

Given:

P = 34 W,

A = 1.0 cm²

r = 44 m

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;

$I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}$

I = 0.0013975 W/m²

≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²

I = 1.4 mW/m²

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².

Part B

Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.

Sound intensity level is calculated as;

β $= 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{0}}$ dB

Where,

β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)

I is the sound intensity;

I₀ is the reference sound intensity;

By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

∴ β $= 10log_{10}\frac{1.4 * 10^{-3} W/m^{2}}{1.0 * 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}$

β $= 10log_{10} (1.4 * 10^{9})$

β = 91.46 dB

The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.
