The loudness of a sound is inversely proportional to the square of your distance from the source of the sound. if your friend is
Yuliya22 [3333]

Define loudness as L, distance as d, and k as the variation constant. The appropriate equation representing the relationship is:
                    L = k / d^2
For Situation 1,
                    L1 = k / d1^2
For Situation 2,
                    L2 = k / (d1 / 4)^2
To have equal k, it follows that L2 = 16 L1.
Thus, the loudness your friend experiences is 16 times greater than yours.

Keith_Richards [3271]
When Kai removes the burger from the grill and adds cheese, the cheese melts due to the heat retained by the burger from cooking. The warmth remains in the burger for a while, which explains the melting of the cheese.

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 80.0 nC. The plates are in va
serg [3582]

Answer:

10000 V

0.00225988700565 m²

8\times 10^{-12}\ F

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 4\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Distance = 2.5 mm

Q = Charge = 80 nC

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

The potential difference is calculated as

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 10^6\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow V=10000\ V

The potential difference across the plates amounts to 10000 V

Area is determined by

A=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0E}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow A=0.00225988700565\ m^2

The area of each plate measures 0.00225988700565 m²

Capacitance is determined by

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.00225988700565}{2.5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=8\times 10^{-12}\ F

The capacitance is 8\times 10^{-12}\ F

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
inna [3103]
<span>First, apply Newton's second law of motion: F = ma. Force equals mass times acceleration. This law describes force as the product of mass multiplied by acceleration (which is different from velocity). As acceleration is the variation in velocity over time, we have force = (mass * velocity) / time, leading us to conclude that (mass * velocity) / time will equal momentum / time. Hence, we derive the equation mass * velocity = momentum. Momentum = mass * velocity. For the elephant, with a mass of 6300 kg and velocity of 0.11 m/s, Momentum = 6300 * 0.11, resulting in P = 693 kg (m/s). For the dolphin, having a mass of 50 kg and moving at 10.4 m/s, Momentum = 50 * 10.4, yielding P = 520 kg (m/s). Thus, the elephant has a greater momentum (P) due to its larger size.</span>

Why didn't the astronauts land on the moon 3.17 answers punchline?
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Responses to the 3.17 punchline varied among many individuals, with some suggesting that it was a "full" moon day which prevented the astronauts from landing.

Others claimed that the astronauts took off during daylight hours when the moon was not visible. There were also comments that indicated that 'astro' refers to stars rather than satellites, explaining why they did not land.

A few even noted that 'astro naut' sounds like 'naught,' meaning zero (0), as a possible reason for their failure to land.
