Answer:

I = 1.58 x 10⁻³ watt/m²

Explanation:

Here, we will use the following formula:

\beta = 10\ log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_o})

where,

β = decibel level = 92 dB

I = Intenisty of sound in watt/m² = ?

I₀ = reference intensity = 10⁻¹² watt/m²

Therefore,

92\ dB =10\ log_{10}(\frac{I}{10^{-12}\ watt/m^2} )\\\\

10^{9.2} = \frac{I}{10^{-12}}\ watt/m^2\\\\I = (1.58\ x\ 10^9)(10^{-12}\ watt/m^2)

<u>I = 1.58 x 10⁻³ watt/m²</u>

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s
