Answer:

The weight of the object when it is lifted to 3 times the height is 33. $\overline 3$ N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the object on Earth, W = 300 N

The initial position of the object = On the surface of the Earth

Therefore;

The distance with which the weight is measured = The radius of the Earth, R

By Newton's Law of Gravitation, we have;

$W = G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{R^2}$

Where;

W = 200 N

G = The universal gravitational constant

M = The mass of the Earth

m = The mass of the object

When the height of the object = 3 × R, the weight of the object, W₂, is given as follows;

$W_2 = G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{(3 \times R)^2} = \dfrac{1}{9} \times G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{ R^2} = \dfrac{1}{9} \times W = \dfrac{1}{9} \times 300 N = 33.\overline 3 \ N$

Therefore, the weight of the object at 3 times the height, W₂ = 33. $\overline 3$ N

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two

lesya [120]

Answer:

Power = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

$\beta (dB)= 10 \ log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})$

where;

the threshold of hearing $I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)$

$\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$10^{10.2} = \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}$

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power = 124.50 W

What is the difference between continuous and a discontinuous spectrum?

aleksklad [387]

A continuous spectrum contains all the wavelengths

A discontinuous spectrum has strips of specific colors and can be used to identify the elements making it.

omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

si tienes 2 circuitos uno en serie y otro en paralelo con el mismo valor en sus resistencias, para cuál circuito la resistencia

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

circuito paralelo

Explanation:

Siempre el circuito en paralelo dara una resistencia menor. Recuerda que las resistencias se suman en el circuito en serie, an cambio en el circuito en paralelo, la corriente se bifurca de manera de circular con mayor intensidad por las ramas que tengan menos resistencia, y tal situacion llevara siempre a producir una menor resistencia equivalente.
