Answer:

3.16

Explanation:

We know that sound level in dB = 10log(I'/I) where I = initial intensity at 20.0m from source = P/A where P = total power and A = area at 20.0 m and I' = New intensity when the sound level increases by 5.00 dB at 20.0 m from source = P'/A where P' = Power at 5.00 dB and A = area at 20.0 m

dB = 5.00 dB. So,

5.00 dB = 10log(P'/A ÷ P/A)

5.00 dB = 10log(P'/P)

5/10 = log(P'/P)

0.5 = log(P'/P)

taking anti-logarithm of both sides,

10⁰°⁵ = P'/P

P'/P = 3.16

P' = 3.16P

So, P must be increased by a factor of 3.16 for the sound intensity level at a distance of 20.0 m from the source is to increase 5.00 dB.

Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs down
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a)   D_ total = 18.54 m,   b)        v = 6.55 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the displacement of the player.

a) Let's start with the initial displacement, d = 8 m at a 45º angle, use trigonometry to find the components

           sin 45 = y₁ / d

           cos 45 = x₁ / d

           y₁ = d sin 45

           x₁ = d sin 45

           y₁ = 8 sin 45 = 5,657 m

           x₁ = 8 cos 45 = 5,657 m

The second offset is d₂ = 12m at 90 of the 50 yard

            y₂ = 12 m

            x₂ = 0

total displacement

          y_total = y₁ + y₂

          y_total = 5,657 + 12

          y_total = 17,657 m

          x_total = x₁ + x₂

          x_total = 5,657 + 0

          x_total = 5,657 m

          D_total =   17.657 i^+ 5.657 j^  m

          D_total = Ra (17.657 2 + 5.657 2)

          D_ total = 18.54 m

b) the average speed is requested, which is the offset carried out in the time used

           v = Δx /Δt

the distance traveled using the pythagorean theorem is

         r = √ (d1² + d2²)

          r = √ (8² + 12²)

          r = 14.42 m

The time used for this shredding is

         t = t1 + t2

         t = 1 + 1.2

         t = 2.2 s

let's calculate the average speed

         v = 14.42 / 2.2

         v = 6.55 m / s

What is surface tension? How does surface tension result from intermolecular forces? How is it related to the strength of interm
Bond [772]

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.

Surface tension is caused by effects of intermolecular forces at liquid interface.

Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases.

Explanation:

  • Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. It can also be seen as the energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit amount.
  • Surface tension is caused by the mediating effects of intermolecular forces at the liquid interfaces. Example in water, surface tension is caused by the mediating effect of the force between hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Liquids tends to reduce their surface area because of inward attarction of the liquid molecules.
  • Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases. Also, surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces decreases.

Suppose our apparatus will only allow us to distinguish the first order bright fringe from the central bright spot if they are s
ozzi

Answer:

λ = 8.716 mm

Explanation:

Given:

- d = 10 cm

- Q >= 5 degrees

Find:

- Find the shortest wavelength of light for which this apparatus is useful

Solution:

- The formula that relates the split difference and angle of separation between successive fringes is given by:

                                            d*sin(Q) = n*λ

Where,

λ: wavelength

d: split separation

Q: angle of separation between successive fringes

m: order number.

- Since this apparatus only shows the first order light so m =1

- the shortest possible wavelength corresponds to:

                                            d*sin(Q) = λ

                                            λ = 0.1*sin(5)

                                            λ = 8.716 mm

What are the effects of forces to the motion of an object?​
melamori03 [73]
Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
