Answer:

(C) 16

Explanation:

Given:

The amplitude of first wave (s₁) = 20 mm

The amplitude of second wave (s₂) = 5 mm

Intensity of first wave = Iₓ

Intensity of second wave = $I_y$

The intensity associated with a wave depends on the amplitude of the wave.

The intensity (I) is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude (s) of the wave and is expressed as:

$I=ks^2\\Where\ k\to constant\ of\ proportionality$

Now, the intensities of the two waves are given as:

$I_x=ks_1^2=k(20)^2\\\\I_y=ks_2^2=k(5)^2$

Dividing both the intensities, we get:

$\frac{I_x}{I_y}=\frac{k(20)^2}{k(5)^2}\\\\\frac{I_x}{I_y}=\frac{400}{25}\\\\\frac{I_x}{I_y}=16$

Therefore, the option (C) is correct.

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th

N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

$E1=10^6\ J$

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

$u=6.8\times 10^6\ J$

we know from the defination of efficiency that, η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

$0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}$

$0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}$

$E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J$

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

$n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}$

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

27 °C

Explanation:

BY the statement of the question it is clear that it is about an ideal gas - and hence if change in KE is about zero - then there will be no change of temperature.

So, answer is 27 °C

A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it

makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object $m=5 kg$

Distance traveled $h=10 m$

velocity acquired $v=12 m/s$

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy $=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J$

Final Energy $=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}$

where $W_{f}$ is friction work if any

$490=360+W_{f}$

$W_{f}=130 J$

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .
