Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The definition of the intensity in terms of power is given by:

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where:

  • P is the power
  • A is the area

If the sound emits uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections, we can assume the geometry of the wave sound is spherical.

Let's recall the area of a sphere is A = 4\pi R^{2}

To the first location we have:

I_{1}=3*10^{-4} W/m^{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}

and to the second location we have:

I_{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}

Now, we can divide each intensity to find the second intensity.

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}}{\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}}

I_{2}=I_{1}* \frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=3*10^{-4}\frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

I hope it helps you!

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.

Radio waves transmitted through space at 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s by the Voyager spacecraft have a wavelength of 0.137 m. What is their fr
fredd [130]

Answer:

Frequency, f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of radio waves is 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Wavelength of radio waves is \lambda=0.137\ m

It is required to find the frequency of the radio waves. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.137}\\\\f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

So, the frequency of the radio wave is 2.18\times 10^9\ Hz.
