THE PREFIX KILO MEANSTIMES A THOUSAND OR ONE THOUSAND

natita [175]3 years ago

In metric that means multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. It consists of a partial word like "kilo" or "milli". For example, the prefix "kilo" means "times a thousand" or " one thousand of" the units in question. So "kilometer" means one thousand meters and "kilogram" means one thousand grams.

The intensity of a sound wave at a fixed distance from a speaker vibrating at 1.00 kHz is 0.750 W/m2. (a) Determine the intensit

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a) I = 3.63 W / m² , b) I = 0.750 W / m²

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is given by the relation

I = P / A = ½ ρ v (2π f $s_{max}$ )²

I = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²) f²

a) with the initial condition let's call the intensity Io

cte = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²)

I₀ = cte s² f₀²

I₀ = cte 10 6

If frequency is increase f = 2.20 10³ Hz

I = constant (2.20 10³) 2

I = cte 4.84 10⁶

let's find the relationship of the two quantities

I / Io = 4.84

I = 4.84 Io

I = 4.84 0.750

I = 3.63 W / m²

b) in this case the frequency is reduced to f = 0.250 10³ Hz and the displacement s = 4 s or

I = cte (f s)²

I = constant (0.250 10³ 4)²

I = cte 1 10⁶

the relationship

I / Io = 1

I = Io

I = 0.750 W / m²

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo

Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$
