The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the

acoustic output of a howler to be uniform in all directions and that the threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. A juvenile howler monkey has an acoustic output of 63 ȝW. What is the ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity I0, at a distance of 210 m?

Answer:

113.7

Explanation:

maximum distance (s) = 8.9 km

reference intensity (I0) = 1 x 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

power of a juvenile howler monkey (p) = 63 x 10^{-6} W

distance (r) = 210 m

intensity (I) = power/area

where we assume the area of a sphere due to the uniformity of the output in all directions

area = 4π $r^{2}$ = 4π x $210^{2}$ = 554,176.9 m^{2}

intensity (I) = $\frac{63 x 10^{-6} }{554,176.9} = 113.7 x 10^{-12}$

therefore the desired ratio I/I0 = $\frac{113.7 x 10^{-12}}{1 x 10^{-12}}$ = 113.7

Traffic officials indicate, it takes longer to ______ when you drive fast.

nignag [31]

The answer in the blank is that it is difficult to accelerate at decelerate the vehicle when it is on a fast speed because having a fast speed makes it difficult to adjust the meter as well as if you try to decelerate the vehicle, it could burn out the tires and engine as it is in the fast speed, in accelerating it, it could also be complicated because it would only make the car faster enough that you may no longer control of how to stop it.

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

A responder can protect himself/herself from radiation by using shielding as a response action. What materials are best for prot

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.

Large and small numbers are often best entered in exponential notation. For example, the mass of the earth is 5.98x1024 kg and t

Doss [256]

Answer:

The charge to mass ratio is $-1.76\times10^{11}$

Explanation:

$Mass\ of\ electron=m_e=9.11\times10^{-31} kg\\ Charge\ of\ the\ electron=q_e=-1.60\times10^{-19} C\\$

We need to find how much charge is contained in the electron per unit of mass, to do this we divide the charge in an electron and the mass of an electron:

$\frac{Charge\ of\ electron}{Mass\ of\ electron}=\frac{q_e}{m_e}\frac{C}{kg}=\frac{-1.60\times10^{-19} C}{9.11\times10^{-31} kg}=-1.76\times10^{11} \frac{C}{kg}$

A 4.0 Ω resistor, an 8.0 Ω resistor, and a 12.0 Ω resistor are connected in parallel across a 24.0 V battery. What is the equiva

dsp73

PART A)

Equivalent resistance in parallel is given as

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}$

now we have

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{12}$

$R = 2.18 ohm$

PART B)

since potential difference across all resistance will remain same as all are in parallel

so here we can use ohm's law

$V = iR$

for 4 ohm resistance we have

$24 = 4(i)$

$i = 6 A$

PART C)

since potential difference across all resistance will remain same as all are in parallel

so here we can use ohm's law

$V = iR$

for 8 ohm resistance we have

$24 = 8(i)$

$i = 3 A$
