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.

Two projectile launchers are beside one another on level ground. Both launchers are directed at the same angle with respect to g
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

(a) Projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing

Explanation:

Initial velocity = v

Angle at which the projectile is shot at = θ

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Range of a projectile is given by

R=\frac {v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}

When Initial velocity = v

R_A=\frac{v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}

When Initial velocity = 2v

R_B=\frac{(2v)^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow R_B=\frac{4v^2\sin 2\theta}{g}

Dividing the equtions, we get

\frac{R_A}{R_B}=\frac{\frac{v^{2}\sin 2\theta}{g}}{\frac{4v^2\sin 2\theta}{g}}

Here, the angle at which the projectiles are fired at are equal.

\frac{R_A}{R_B}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow R_B=4R_A

Hence, projectile B will travel 4 times as far as projectile A prior to landing

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.045 T

Mass of aluminum rod  = 0.19 kg

Length = 1.6 m

Angle = 30.0°

We need to calculate the force

Using resolving force

F\cos\theta=mg\sin\theta

F=mg\tan\theta

Put the value into the formula

F=0.19\times9.8\times\tan30

F=1.075\ N

We need to calculate the current flows through the rod

Using formula of magnetic force

F=iLB

i=\dfrac{F}{LB}

Put the value into the formula

i=\dfrac{1.075}{1.6\times0.045}

i=14.9\ A

Hence, The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what helght does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

5.10 meters.

Explanation:

v²=u²+2gh

or, (10)²=(0)²+2×9.8×h

or, 19.6h=100

or, h=5.10 meters

Hope, this helps you.
