Answer:
(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg
(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J
(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s
Explanation:
(a)
First we find the volume of the continent:
V = L*W*H
where,
V = Volume of Slab = ?
L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m
W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m
H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m
Therefore,
V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)
V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³
Now, we find the mass:
m = density*V
m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)
<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>
<u></u>
(b)
The kinetic energy will be:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
where,
v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)
v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
Therefore,
K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²
<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>
<u></u>
(c)
For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²
v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)
<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>
Answer
The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation
Explanation:
As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.
Answer:
a= 4.4×10 m/s^2
Explanation:
pressure P = E/c
Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light
c= speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s
P = 1000/ 3×10^8
P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa
Force F = P×A
- P is the pressure and c= speed of light
F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)
= 2.22×10^{-6}
acceleration a = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}
a= 4.4×10 m/s^2
