How much work is done when a porcelain vase with mass of 2.5 kg is lifted up 3 m to a shelf? (HINT- Weight can be used as Force

when the motion is up/down).

Work = force x distance
F= 2.5
D= 3
Work = 2.5 x 3 =7.5
Work = 7.5 J
J=Jules (Jules is the unit uses to calculate work)

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 $4W/m^2$

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

$r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

$E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

$5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}$

Replacing in equation 1

$r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2} }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m$

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.

Softa [21]

Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since $velocity = \frac{change in position}{time}$ , and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.
