Answer:

1. It becomes 9 times.

2. it becomes one fourth times.

3. It becomes one hundredth times.

4. It becomes one ninth times.

Explanation:

Intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of the wave and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and observation point.

1. As the amplitude of the wave is tripled, the intensity becomes 9 times.

2. As the amplitude becomes half, the intensity becomes one fourth.

3. As the distance between the source and the ear is one tenth, the intensity becomes one hundredth.

4. As the distance between source and ear is one third, the intensity becomes one ninth.

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the ball is projected upwards so that it will reach to maximum height of 16 m

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that

$v_f = 0$

also we have

$a = -9.81 m/s^2$

so we have

$0 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(16)$

$v_i = 17.72 m/s$

Now we need to find the height where its speed becomes half of initial value

so we have

$v_f = 0.5 v_i$

now we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$(0.5v_i)^2 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)h$

$-0.75v_i^2 = -19.62 h$

$0.75(17.72)^2 = 19.62 h$

$h = 12 m$

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test

kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams
