A 60 year old person has a threshold of hearing of 79.0 dB for a sound with frequency f=10,000 Hz. By what factor must the inten

sity of a sound wave of that frequency, audible to a typical young adult, (sound level=43.0 dB) be increased so that it is heard by the older person.

They provided the intensity in decibels for the problem, but they are unsure by what factor to increase it (I) to make the sound loud enough for the elderly person to hear.

Neglect f entirely.

The following equation must be used to convert decibels (dB) to I:

I=(10^(dB/10))*10^-12

Divide the elder person's dB by the younger person's dB after doing this for each dB.

After putting values and solving

we get,

1.8372093023.

So, the final answer is 1.8372093023.

the electron are accelrated to a speed of 2.40*10^7 in 1.8*10^-9, the force experinced by an electron ?
dalvyx [7]
Force = mass × acceleration

To find acceleration, we can divide the speed by the time it took:

acceleration = 2.40×10^7 / 1.8×10^-9

acceleration = 1.33×10^16

the mass is equal to the mass of an electron

force = (9.11×10^-31)(1.33×10^16)

force = 1.21×10^-14 N

____, one of Saturn's icy moons, is unusual in the solar system in that it has volcanic activity that ejects plumes of icy parti
blondinia [14]

Answer: Enceladus

Explanation:

Enceladus is a small, icy body with an undergound ocean beneath its crust. Cassini discovered that geyser-like jets spew water vapor and ice particles. It is also the sixth largest moon in Saturn and just about a tenth of the largest moon in Saturn; Titan. It is often regarded as one of the most reflective body in the solar system as a result of its icy surface.

Which of the following describes the relationship of conductance to a conductor?
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>The answer is The conductance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.</span>  <span>Conductance is directly related to the ease offered by any material to the passage of electric current. Conductance is the opposite of resistance. The higher the conductance, the lower the resistance and vice versa, the greater the resistance, the less conductance, so both are inversely proportional</span>
