When the volcano Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it was heard 5000 km away. Which statement about the sound from the volcano is not co

rrect?
a. If such a loud sound were to be made today, an astronaut orbiting in space (a vacuum) at a height of 400 km could hear it.
b. People further from the volcano heard the sound later than people nearer to the volcano.
c. The amplitude of the sound waves would have been smaller further from the volcano.
d. The sound was very loud because a lot of energy was transferred to vibrations of the air.

Multiply the number 4.48E-8 by 5.2E-4 using Google. What is the correct answer in scientific notation?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2.32\times 10^{-11}

Explanation:

First number is 4.48\times 10^{-8}

Second number is 5.2\times 10^{-4}

We need to multiply the two numbers.

4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}

In scientific notation : 2.32\times 10^{-11}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Of the following systems, which contains the most heat?
densk [106]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given systems are state of matter and do not contain any heat instead Heat is required to change Phase or raise the temperature of the particular system.

For example 600 kg of ice at 0^{\circ}C

Heat Required to convert it to water at 0^{\circ}C is

Q=m\times L

Where L=latent heat of Fusion =334 J/gm

Q=600\times 334\times 1000

Q=200.4 MJ

A two-resistor voltage divider employing a 2-k? and a 3-k? resistor is connected to a 5-V ground-referenced power supply to prov
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

circuit sketched in first attached image.

Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance

Explanation:

For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.

Vout = Vin \frac{R_{2}}{R_{2}+R_{1}}

Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}[/[tex][tex]Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}\\Vout = 5 \frac{2}{5} = 2 V

For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.

so.

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2000||3000 = \frac{2000*3000}{2000+3000} = 1200

Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.  

if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient  has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:

Vout = 5 \frac{1900}{4900}\\Vout = 5 \frac{19}{49} = 1.93 V

Vout = 5 \frac{2100}{5100}\\Vout = 5 \frac{21}{51} = 2.05 V

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 1900||2850= \frac{1900*2850}{1900+2850} = 1140

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2100||3150 = \frac{2100*3150 }{2100+3150 } = 1260

so.

V_{out} = {1.93,2.05}V\\R_{1} = {1900,2100}\\R_{2} = {2850,3150}\\R_{out} = {1140,1260}

The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is
dezoksy [38]

Answer and Explanation:

A. We have temperature t = 32

Speed of sound, s = 1087.5

As t increases by 1⁰f speed increases by 1.2

So that

S = 1088.6

T= 33⁰f

We have 2 equations

1087.5 = k(32) + c

1088.6 = k(33) + c

Subtracting both equations

(33-32)k = 1088.6-1087.5

K = 1.1

b.). S = kT + c

1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c

Such that

C = 1052.3

Therefore

S = 1.1(t) + 1052.3

C.). S = 1.1t + 1052.3

We make t subject of the formula

T = s/1.1 - 1052.3/1.1

T = 0.90(s) - 956.3

D. This means that We have temperature to rise by 0.90 whenever speed is increased
