Answer:
The ratio of the displacement amplitudes of two sound waves is 1.16.
Explanation:
Given that,
Frequency = 5.0 kHz
Intensity level difference = 3.0 dB
We know that,
The sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance.
[tex]I\propto\dfrac{1}{r^2}[/tex]
The sound intensity for first wave is
[tex]\beta_{1}=10\log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}[/tex]...(I)
The sound intensity for second wave is
[tex]\beta_{2}=10\log\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}[/tex]...(II)
We need to calculate the ratio of intensity
From equation (I) and (II)
[tex]\beta_{2}-\beta_{1}=10\log\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}-10\log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta \beta=10\log(\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{1}})[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]3.0=10\log(\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{1}})[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=e^{\dfrac{3.0}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=1.34[/tex]
We need to calculate the ratio of the displacement
Using formula of displacement
[tex]\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\sqrt{1.34}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=1.16[/tex]
Hence, The ratio of the displacement amplitudes of two sound waves is 1.16.
Suppose astronomers discover a radio message from a civilization whose planet orbits a star 35 light-years away. Their message encourages us to send a radio answer, which we decide to do. Suppose our governing bodies take 2 years to decide whether and how to answer. When our answer arrives there, their governing bodies also take two of our years to frame an answer to us. How long after we get their first message can we hope to get their reply to ours? Enter your answer in years.
Answer:
The duration is [tex]T =72 \ years /tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance is [tex]D = 35 \ light-years = 35 * 9.46 *10^{15} = 3.311 *10^{17} \ m [/tex]
Generally the time it would take for the message to get the the other civilization is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{D}{c}[/tex]
Here c is the speed of light with the value [tex]c = 3.08 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{3.311 *10^{17} }{3.08 *10^{8}}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 \ s[/tex]
converting to years
[tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8} [/tex]
[tex]t = 1.075 *10^9 * 3.17 *10^{-8} [/tex]
[tex]t = 34 \ years [/tex]
Now the total time taken is mathematically represented as
[tex]T = 2* t + 2 + 2[/tex]
=> [tex]T = 2* 34 + 2 + 2[/tex]
=> [tex]T =72 \ years /tex]

Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The original voltage is [tex]V_o[/tex]
The new voltage is [tex]V =\frac{V_o}{2}[/tex]
The capacitance is [tex]C = 150\ nF = 150 *10^{-9} \ F[/tex]
The first resistance is [tex]R_i = 26 \Omega[/tex]
The second resistance is [tex]R_E = 200 \Omega[/tex]
Generally the equivalent resistance is
[tex]R_e = R_1 + R_E[/tex]
=> [tex]R_e = 26 +200 [/tex]
=> [tex]R_e = 226 \ \Omega [/tex]
Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as
[tex]\tau = RC[/tex]
=> [tex]\tau = 226 * 150 *10^{-9}[/tex]
=> [tex]\tau = 3.39 *10^{-5} \ s [/tex]
Generally the voltage is mathematically represented as
[tex]V = V_o e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{V_o}{2} = V_o e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.5 = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex]
=> [tex]ln(0.5) = {-\frac{t}{ 3.39 *10^{-5} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]ln(0.5) * 3.39 *10^{-5} = -t [/tex]
=> [tex]t = 2.35*10^{-5} \ s [/tex]
m_Cu * sh_CuA system consists of a copper tank whose mass is 13 kilogram , 4 kilogram of liquid water, and an electrical resistor of negligible mass. The system is insulated on its outer surface. Initially, the temperature of the copper is 27 degC and the temperature of the water is 50 degC . The electrical resistor transfers 100 kilojoule to the system. Eventually the system comes to equilibrium. Determine the final equilibrium temperature, in ∘C.
Answer:
T₂ = 49.3°C
Explanation:
Applying law of conservation of energy to the system we get the following equation:
Energy Supplied by Resistor = Energy Absorbed by Tank + Energy Absorbed by Water
E = mC(T₂ - T₁) + m'C'(T'₂ - T'₁)
where,
E = Energy Supplied by Resistor = 100 KJ = 100000 J
m = mass of copper tank = 13 kg
C = Specific Heat of Copper = 385 J/kg.°C
T₂ = Final Temperature of Copper Tank
T₁ = Initial Temperature of Copper Tank = 27°C
T'₂ = Final Temperature of Water
T'₁ = Initial Temperature of Water = 50°C
m' = Mass of Water = 4 kg
C' = Specific Heat of Water = 4179.6 K/kg.°C
Since, the system will come to equilibrium finally. Therefor: T'₂ = T₂
Therefore,
(100000 J) = (13 kg)(385 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 27°C) + (4 kg)(4179.6 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 50°C)
100000 J = (5005 J/°C)T₂ - 135135 J + (16718.4 J/°C)T₂ - 835920 J
100000 J + 135135 J + 835920 J = (21723.4 J/°C)T₂
(1071055 J)/(21723.4 J/°C) = T₂
T₂ = 49.3°C
A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a conducting wire between it and the earth. Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside surface of the metal? Why or why not? Would someone outside the solid measure an electric field due to the charge -Q? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of the charge -Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?
Answer:
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) E=0
Explanation:
Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.
With this analysis we can answer the specific questions
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside
d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage
e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.
In the absence of a gravitational field, you could determine the mass of an object (of unknown composition) by:
A) applying a known force and measuring it's acceleration.
B) measuring the volume.
C) weighing it.
Answer:
A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.
Explanation:
This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.
Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.

Next, we'll examine magnetic force. Bring the ends of your two magnets together. Explore the three
possible combinations. In two of the combinations, the two ends are the same. In one combination, the
two ends are different. Describe the force you feel in each combination
Answer:
i. The magnetic force of repulsion.
ii. The magnetic force of attraction.
Explanation:
A magnet is a material that has the attraction and repulsion capability. Magnets has two poles, north and south, thus would attract or repel another magnet in its neighborhood. It can either be a permanent or temporal magnet, and attracts ferrous metals.
i. In the case of two combinations where two ends are the same, it could be observed that the two ends (poles) repels each other. Thus since like poles repels, magnetic force of repulsion is felt.
ii. In the case of one combination in which the two ends are different, the two ends (poles) attract. Since unlike poles attracts, magnetic force of attraction is observed.
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 98 m and acquired a velocity of The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to:
29 m/s2
31 m/s2
33 m/s2
30 m/s2
32 m/s2
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 98 m and acquired a velocity of 30m/s. The rocket continues to rise in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to...
Given
initial velocity of rocket u = 0m/s
final velocity of rocket = 30m/s
Height reached by the rocket = 98m
Required
upward acceleration of the rocket
Using the equation of motion below to get the acceleration a:
[tex]v^2 = u^2+2as\\30^2 = 0^2 + 2(a)(98)\\900 = 196a\\a = \frac{900}{196}\\a = 4.59m/s^2[/tex]
Hence upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to 5m/s²
Note that the velocity used in calculation was assumed.
Calculate the force a 75 kg high jumper must exert in order to produce an acceleration that is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
Explanation
According to Newton's second law of motion,
F = ma
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
If the acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity, then a = 3.2g
The formula becomes;
F = m(3.2g)
F = 3.2mg
m= 75kg
g = 9.81m/s²
F = 3.2(75)(9.81)
F = 2,354.4N
Hence the force exerted by the jumper is 2,354.4N
Astronomers have proposed the existence of a ninth planet in the distant solar system. Its semi-major axis is suggested to be approximately 600 AU. If this prediction is correct, what is its orbital period in years
Answer:
T = 1.4696 10⁴ years
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use Kepler's laws, specifically the third law which is the application of the universal law of gravitation to Newton's second law
F = ma
G m M / r² = m a_c = m v² / r
G M / r = v²
the speed of the circular orbit is
v = 2π r / T
we substitute
G M / r = 4π² r² / T²
T² = (4π² / G M) r³
Kepler proved that this expression is the same if the radius is changed by the semi-major axis of an ellipse
T² = (4π² /GM) a³
the constant is worth
(4π² / GM) = 2.97 10⁻¹⁹ s² / m³
let's reduce the distance to SI units
AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun
a = 600 AU = 600 AU (1.496 10¹¹ m / 1 AU)
a = 8.976 10¹³ m
T² = 2.97 10⁻¹⁹ (8.976 10¹³)³
T² = 21.4786 10²²
T = 4.63 10¹¹ s
Let's reduce to years
T = 4.63 10¹¹s (1 h / 3600s) (1 day / 24 h) (1 year / 365 days)
T = 1.4696 10⁴ years

A particle moves along a path described by y=Ax^3 and x = Bt, where tt is time. What are the units of A and B?
Answer:
In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.
Explanation:
From Dimensional Analysis we understand that [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] have length units ([tex][l][/tex]) and [tex]t[/tex] have time units ([tex][t][/tex]). Then, we get that:
[tex][l] = A\cdot [l]^{3}[/tex] (Eq. 1)
[tex][l] = B\cdot [t][/tex] (Eq. 2)
Now we finally clear each constant:
[tex]A = \frac{[l]}{[l]^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex]
In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.
On top of a cliff of height h, a spring is compressed 5m and launches a projectile perfectly horizontally with a speed of 75 m s . It hits the ground with speed 90 m s . How high above the ground was the cliff? (Hint: use energy conservation to make the problem easier!)
Answer:
The height of the cliff is 121.276 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the projectile, v₁ = 75 m/s
final velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 90 m/s
spring compression = 5 m
Apply the law of conservation of energy;
mgh₀ + ¹/₂mv₁² = mgh₂ + ¹/₂mv₂²
gh₀ + ¹/₂v₁² = gh₂ + ¹/₂v²
gh₁ - gh₂ = ¹/₂v₂² - ¹/₂v₁²
g(h₀ - h₂) = ¹/₂ (v₂² - v₁²)
h₀ - h₂ = ¹/₂g (v₂² - v₁²)
h₀ = h(cliff) + 5m
when the projectile hits the ground, Final height, h₂ = 0
[tex]h_o - 0 = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} + 5= \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(90^2-75^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = 121.276 \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the height of the cliff is 121.276 m

The voltage across the capacitor is given by;
[tex]V_c = \sqrt{V^2 - V_R^2} \\\\V_c = \sqrt{141.4^2 - 100^2} \\\\V_c =99.97 \ V[/tex]
[tex]V_c = I_cX_c\\\\V_c = I_C* \frac{1}{2\pi fC}\\\\ 99.97 = 1 * \frac{1}{2\pi *50 *C}\\\\ C=\frac{1}{2\pi *50*99.97}\\\\ C = 31.84*10^{-6} \ F\\\\C = 31.84 \ \mu F[/tex]
Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.

the diagram shows a contour map. letter a through k are reference points on the map. which points are located at the same elevation above sea level?
Answer:
K and I
Explanation:
Contour maps use lines that represent spaces in a map that have the same elevation, this means that all the lines should be continuous and closed, in this case, we are not able to see the full extent of most of the lines, but since the points are located in different lines we can assume that they are at different heights, so since only point K and point I are on the same line, we know that these two points are at the same height.

It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Answer:
102 m
Explanation:
Given that It takes a minimum distance of 48.96 m to stop a car moving at 12.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 25.0 m/s.
Let the stopping distance be equal to S.
According to the definition of speed,
Speed = distance / time.
make time the subject of the formula
Time = distance / speed
then, the equivalent time is:
48.96 / 12 = S / 25
Cross multiply
12S = 48.96 x 25
12S = 1224
S = 1224 / 12
S = 102 m
Therefore, the stopping distance is 102 m
A 0.75 m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18 kg/m3. The tank is connected to a high-pressure supply link through a valve. The valve is opened, and air is allowed to enter the tank until the density in the tank rises to 4.95 kg/m3. Determine, in kg, the mass of air that has entered the tank..
Answer:
2.83kg
Explanation:
Answer:
2.83kg
Explanation:
Given
initial density = 1.18 kg/m3
Final density in the tank = 4.95 kg/m3.
Let us write the mass balance first.
Change in the mass of the system=mass of the air entering the system - Mass of air out the system
Mass that entered= M2 - M1
But DENSITY= MASS/ VOLUME
Mass= volume × Density
We can expressed the mass in terms of density since density is given in the question.
Mass that entered= (volume × density)2 - ( volume × density)1
= (V ρ)2 - (V ρ)1
But V1= V2 the volume remains the same
= ( ρ2 - ρ1)v
= (4.95 kg/m3 - 1.18 kg/m3) 0.75 m3
= 3.77× 0.75
= 2.8275kg
Mass that entered= 2.83kg
therefore, mass of air that has entered the tank= 2.83kg

A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 40.0 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package. Two seconds later it drops a second package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground?
Answer:
Package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m, and the distance between them is 80.0 m.
Explanation:
To find the distance at which the first package will land we need to calculate the time:
[tex] Y_{f} = Y_{0} + V_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]
Where:
Y(f) is the final position = 0
Y(0) is the initial position = 160 m
V(0y) is initial speed in "y" direction = 0
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
t is the time=?
[tex] 0 = 160 m + 0t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} [/tex]
[tex] t = \sqrt{\frac{2*160 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 5.7 s [/tex]
Now we can find the distance of the first package:
[tex] X_{1} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*5.7 s = 228.0 m [/tex]
Then, after 2 seconds the distance traveled by plane is (from the initial position):
[tex] X_{p} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*2 s = 80.0 m [/tex]
Now, the distance of the second package is:
[tex] X _{2} = X_{1} + X_{p} = 228.0 m + 80.0 m = 308.0 m [/tex]
The distance between the packages is:
[tex] X = X_{2} - X_{1} = 308.0 - 228.0 m = 80.0 m [/tex]
Therefore, package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m and the distance between them is 80.0 m.
I hope it helps you!

In order to show the horizontal direction of a vector, we will place x after the magnitude of the vector.
Also, to show the vertical direction of a vector, we will place a y after the magnitude of the vector.
(i) Using coordinate grid to represent d₁ = (0, 5)
[tex]d_1 = 0(x) + 5(y)\\\\d_1 = 5y[/tex]
(ii) Using coordinate grid to represent d₂ = (5, 5)
[tex]d_2 = 5x + 5y[/tex]
(iii) The total vector is written as;
[tex]d_1 + d_2 = 5y + (5x + 5y)\\\\d_1 + d_2 = 5y + 5x + 5y\\\\d_1 + d_2 = 5x + 10y[/tex]

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation. This process will double the: __________A. capacitance
B. surface charge density on each plate
C. stored energy
D. electricfield between the two places
E. charge on each plate"
Answer: C.
Explanation:
For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.
Now, the stored energy can be written as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
If the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.
The given problem is based on the concept of parallel plat capacitor. For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
here.
e is the permittivity of free space.
Since, the distance is inversely proportional then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves. Now, the stored energy can be given as,
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
here,
Q is the charge stored in the capacitor.
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
So, the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates.
Thus, we can conclude that if the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.
