Answer:

Originally :  Level = log I / I0

Currently: Level = 10 log I / I0

Level = 10 log 600 = 10 * 2.78 = 27.8

Note the term 1 bel = 10 decibels

Dan bikes 10 km west and then bikes another 5 km west. What is dans velocity if it takes 45 minutes
hammer [34]

he velocity vector is found by taking the displacement divided by the amount of time.

The total displacement is 15 km West.

So the velocity is 15 km W / 45 min.

To convert to km/hr, multiply by 60 min/ 1 hour so the minutes will cancel in the numerator and denominator

15 * 60 / 45 km W / hr = 20 km/h West.


Also sometimes the term "velocity" is used when "speed" is intended in which case you can forget about what direction the movement was in and just say the speed was 20 km/hour.


Also if you want to keep the direction and use vectors, you might have a coordinate system with the x axis going in the East direction, the y axis in the North direction, and assume the world is flat :-) Then if the unit vector for x is "i" and the unit vector for y is "j" then you're looking at a velocity vector that is -20 i (in km/hour).

a man exerts 700 newtons of force to move a piece of furniture 4 meters. if it takes him 2 seconds to move the furniture, how mu
Jlenok [28]

                               Work = (force) x (distance)

The work he did:    Work = (700 N) x (4m)  =  2,800 joules

The rate at which
he did it (power):    Work/time =  2,800 joules/2 sec

                                                =  1,400  joules/sec

                                                =  1,400 watts

                                                =  1.877... horsepower (rounded)

A 67.5-kg person throws a 0.0410-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 34.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Final velocity of the first person is 3.43m/s and that of the second person is 0.0242m/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the first person, the ball second person be Ma, Mb and Mc.

From the principle of the conservation of momentum, sum of the momentum before collision is equal to the sum of the momentum after collision.

Ma1 + Mb1 = Ma2 + Mb2.

The ball and the first person are both moving together with a common velocity 3.45m/s.

Let the velocity of the first person be v1

Therefore

67.5×3.45+ 0.041×3.45= 67.5v1 + 0.041×34

233.02 = 1.39+ 67.5v1

67.5v1 = 233.02 - 1.39 = 231.61

v1 = 231.61 / 67.5

v1 = 3.43m/s

The second person and the ball move together with a common velocity after catching the ball.

For the second person and the ball let their final common velocity be v

Mb2 + Mc2 = Mb3 + Mc3

0.041 × 34 + 57.5 ×0 = (57.5 + 0.041)×v

57.541v = 1.39

v = 1.39 /57.541

v = 0.0242m/s

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.
