Answer:

Explanation:

Let the intensity of the noise be represented by I

Given that

40dB = 10 log 10 ⁡ ( I /I•) ........ 1

I• is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound made.

I represents the intensity of the sound/ noise

The intensity of noise of 1000flies will be

β = 10 log 10 ⁡(1000I/I•)

Open up the bracket

β = 10 log 10(1000)+ 10 log 10(I/I•)

10 log 10(10^3)+10 log 10(I/I•)

3×10(10 log 10) +10 log 10(I/I•)

Recall, 10 log 10 = 1

30×1 + 10 log 10(I/I•).........2

Put equation 1 into 2

β =30+40

= 70db

Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

A man pulls on his dog's leash to keep him from running after a bicycle. Which term best describes this example?
otez555 [7]
We know the answer doesn't have to do with force because we have not identified a positive or negative axis. 

Depending on what the system we are evaluating is, the sign of the work can change.

If work is done on the system, it is negative, but if work is done by the system, it is positive. 

If the system we are evaluating is the leash, the work is being done by the leash, and therefore, the work is positive.

If the system we are evaluating is the dog, the work is being done on the dog, and therefore, the work is negative.

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. In a time of 0.25 s, How far will it have traveled horizontally?
Maurinko [17]

Distance traveled by the ball is given by

distance = speed \times time

here we know that

speed = 20 m/s

times = 0.25 s

now we have

distance = 20 \times 0.25

distance = 5 m

so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time

All galaxies follow the law of gravity. True or False
Juliette [100K]

The answer is true. All the galaxies in the universe follow the law of gravity.

<span>Based from the book, It's about Time: the Illusion of Einstein’s Time Dilation Explained, </span>

Einstein had explained that all the heavenly bodies in the universe follow the same scientific laws that are similar to our solar system. The stars and planets are held by the principles of inertia and gravity
