This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A gong makes a loud noise when struck. The noise gradually gets less and less loud until it fades below the sensitivity of the human ear. The simplest model of how the gong produces the sound we hear treats the gong as a damped harmonic oscillator. The tone we hear is related to the frequency f of the oscillation, and its loudness is proportional to the energy of the oscillation.

If the loudness drops to 90 % of its original value in 5.0 s , what is the time constant of the damped oscillation

Answer: the time constant of the damped oscillation is 47.44s

Explanation:

Given that;

t = 5.0s

Lets say Ao is the amplitude of initial loudness and later A(t) = 0.9 Ao

EXPRESSION for amplitude is  A(t) = Ao e^-t / T

t is time while T is time constant

so

0.9Ao = Ao e^-t / T  

0.9 = e^ -t/T

So we take the natural log of both the sides

ln (0.9) = -t/T

-0.1054 =  -t/T

0.1054 =  t/T

WE now substitute our value of t

0.1054 =  t/T

0.1054T =  5.0

T = 5 / 0.1054

T = 47.44s

therefore the time constant of the damped oscillation is 47.44s

Someone who wants to sell you a Superball claims that it will bounce to a height greater than the height from which it is droppe
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Unless there are other external forces, this will never be true. Because according to energy conservation, potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls down (so it loses height and gain speed). And vice versa, kinetic to potential when it bounces back. So the potential energy after must be the same (or smaller if losing heat to external environment), so it can only get the the same height or less, but not more.

A hot air balloon must be designed to support a basket, cords, and one person for a total payload weight of 1300 N plus the addi
RSB [31]

Answer:

r = 4.44 m

Explanation:

 

For this exercise we use the Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the dislodged fluid

         B = ρ g V

Now let's use Newton's equilibrium relationship

         B - W = 0

         B = W

The weight of the system is the weight of the man and his accessories (W₁) plus the material weight of the ball (W)

         σ = W / A

         W = σ A

The area of ​​a sphere is

           A = 4π r²

       W = W₁ + σ 4π r²

The volume of a sphere is

           V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

     ρ g 4/3 π r³ = W₁ + σ 4π r²

If we use the ideal gas equation

     P V = n RT

    P = ρ RT

    ρ = P / RT

 

    P / RT g 4/3 π r³ - σ 4 π r² = W₁

    r² 4π (P/3RT  r - σ) = W₁

Let's replace the values

     r² 4π (1.01 10⁵ / (3 8.314 (70 + 273)) r - 0.060) = 13000

     r² (11.81 r -0.060) = 13000 / 4pi

     r² (11.81 r - 0.060) = 1034.51

As the independent term is very small we can despise it, to find the solution

       r = 4.44 m

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

A person standing for a long time gets tired when he does not appear to do any work .why?​
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

A person standing still for a long time feels tired because the force of gravity acts on our body and puts stress on our muscles. so our muscles need energy to do work and keep body balanced and help to stand upright.

Mrac [35]

Answer: The final volume V₂ of the container is  0.039 m³.

Explanation:

Since the temperature is constant, the gas would expand isothermally.

For isothermal expansion,

P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Where, P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressure and V₁ and V₂ are initial and final volume.

It is given that:

V₁ = 0.0250 m³

P₁ = 1.5 × 10⁶ Pa

P₂ = 0.950 × 10⁶ Pa

V₂ = ?

⇒ 1.5 × 10⁶ Pa × 0.0250 m³ = 0.950 × 10⁶ Pa × V₂

⇒V₂ = 0.039 m³

Hence, the final volume V₂ of the container is  0.039 m³.
