Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane

1 answer:

5 0

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element

Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

frequency of the sound = f = 1,030.3 Hz

phase difference = Φ = 229.09°

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data:

Xini = 0.540m

Xfin = 0.870m

v = 340m/s

Step 2: frequency of the sound (f)

f = v / λ

λ = Xfin - Xini = 0.870 - 0.540 = 0.33

f = 340 / 0.33

f = 1,030.3 Hz

Step 3: phase difference

phase difference = Φ

Φ = (2π/λ)*(Xini - λ) = (2π/0.33)* (0.540-0.33) = 19.04*0.21 = 3.9984

Φ = 3.9984 rad * (360°/2π rad)

Φ = 229.09°

Hope this helps!
