I is just the uncertainty over the actual number multiplied by 100.
example:
36.1( +/- 0.1)
The percentage of the uncertainty here is 0.1/36.1x 100=0.3%
Answer:
air water iron helium
v(m/s) 280 2200 17780 39682
Explanation:
The speed of a wave depends on the physical properties of the medium where it travels, in the case of a longitudinal wave such as sound, it depends on the resistance to deformation (volume modulus and the density of the medium
v = 
in the mentioned materials they are constant

The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
![\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cvec%7Bb%7D%20%3D%20b%5Bcos%2841.4%5E%7Bo%7D%29%20%5Chat%7Bi%7D%20%2B%20sin%2841.4%5E%7Bo%7D%29%20%5Chat%7Bj%7D%20%5D%20%3Db%280.75%5Chat%7Bi%7D%20%2B%200.6613%20%5Chat%7Bj%7D%29)
The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
![\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] = a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cvec%7Ba%7D%20%3D%20a%5Bcos%2822.7%5E%7Bo%7D%29%5Chat%7Bi%7D%20%2B%20sin%2827.7%5E%7Bo%7D%29%5Chat%7Bj%7D%5D%20%3D%20%20a%280.8854%5Chat%7Bi%7D%20%2B%200.4648%5Chat%7Bj%7D%29)
Because

, the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
or
a + 0.847b = 0 (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
or
a + 1.4228b = 52.926 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854
Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m
Answer:
r₂ = 0.316 m
Explanation:
The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location
β = 10 log
let's write this expression for our case
β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}
β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}
β₂ -β₁ = 10 (
)
β₂ - β₁ = 10
log \frac{I_2}{I_1} =
= 3
= 10³
I₂ = 10³ I₁
having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area
I = P / A
P = I A
the area is of a sphere
A = 4π r²
the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points
P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂
I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²
we substitute the ratio of intensities
I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²
r₁² = 10³ r₂²
r₂ = r₁ / √10³
we calculate
r₂ =
r₂ = 0.316 m
