After your school's team wins the regional championship, students go to the dorm roof and start setting off fireworks rockets. T

he rockets explode high in the air and the sound travels out uniformly in all directions. If the sound intensity is 1.67 10-6 W/m2 at a distance of 233 m from the explosion, at what distance from the explosion is the sound intensity half this value

Answer:

the distance is 315.3696 m

Explanation:

The computation of the distance is given below:

Given that

Sound intensity = 1.67 × 10^-6 W/m^2

And, the distance = 233 m

Now as we know that

Power = Intensity × surface area

1.67 × 10^-6 × 4π(233)^2 = 1.67 × 10^-6 ÷ 2× 4π × d^2

d^2 = 2 × (223)^2

= √2 × 223

= 315.3696 m

Hence, the distance is 315.3696 m

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.


Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par
taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ =  5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 =   \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

light waves are first transmitted through the ________ at the front of the eye and enter an opening called the ________ before s
viva [34]

The transmission of light waves is usually done through cornea of the eyes, then move through another opening which is regarded as pupil before it will get to the retina.

  • Light waves can be regarded as moving energy which contains microscopic particles known as photons.
  • The vision of the eye can be completed through the light wave passing through the components of the eyes and this process goes thus;
  • Light will move through the (cornea) which is situated at the front area of the eyes into lens.
  • Then both the cornea and the lens give room for the focusing of the light rays to the retina which is situated at the back of the eye .
  • Then through the help of the cells in the retina, the light will be absorbed and then be converted to  electrochemical impulses and then transfer it to the brain as well as optic nerve.

Therefore, light wave are form of tiny microscopic particles.

You have two vectors, which are 2.59 m at 30.0° north of east and 4.18 m at 60.0° north of west. What is the magnitude in meters
andrew11 [14]

Answer:\ec{r}=0.153\hat{i}+4.914\hat{j}v

Explanation:

Given

Vector 1

\vec{a}=2.59\left ( cos30\hat{i}+sin30\hat{j}\right )

Vector 2

\vec{b}=4.18\left ( -cos60\hat{i}+sin60\hat{j}\right )

Resultant \vec{r}=\vec{a}+\vec{b}

\vec{r}=2.59\left ( cos30\hat{i}+sin30\hat{j}\right )+4.18\left ( -cos60\hat{i}+sin60\hat{j}\right )

\vec{r}=0.153\hat{i}+4.914\hat{j}

|r|=4.916
