Answer:

$I=0.055\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

A microphone of surface area 2.0 cm’ absorbs 1.1 mW of sound.

Surfrace area, A = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Power absorbed, P = 1.1 mW = 0.0011 W

We need to find the intensity of sound hitting the microphone. Power per unit area is called the intensity of sound. It can be given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{A}\\\\=\dfrac{0.0011\ W}{0.02\ m^2}\\\\=0.055\ W/m^2$

So, the intensity of sound is $0.055\ W/m^2$ . Hence, the correct option is (b).

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet

Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

The magnetic flux is given by:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}$

$d\vec{A}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{B}$ is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2$

Part A)

initially the flux is $\phi =\pi B r^2$

after the interval $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$

the flux is

$\phi = 0$

now, the EMF is defined as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt}$ ,

if we consider $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$ very small then we can re-write it as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12$

then:

$\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]$

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.

1. A man travels 45 m in 35 seconds. How fast is that?<br> What’s the answer

Natalija [7]

Answer:

1.28

Explanation:

If you want to find the m/s you would divide distance by time, so

45 divided by 35 would equal 1.28571429 and so on.

you can just write the three first numbers.

GAMMA RAYS<br> What are some applications of gamma rays? In other words, what can we use them for?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells. Also, industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

Boy pulls a 5.0-kg sled with a rope that makes a 60.0° angle with respect to the horizontal surface of a frozen pond. The boy pu

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

mass, m = 5 kg

θ = 60°

Force, F = 10 N

velocity is constant , it means the net force is zero.

So, the component of force along the surface is equal to the friction force

FCosθ = friction force

10 x cos 60 = μ x m x g

where, μ is the coefficient of friction

5 = μ x 5 x 9.8

μ = 0.1

Thus, the coefficient of friction is 0.1
