What is the intensity level of a sound with an intensity of 0.000127 W/m2?

1 answer:

6 0

DB = 10 log (I/Io)
Where, Io is the reference intensity which is the minimum intensity that human can hear.
That is; Io = 10^-12
Therefore;
dB = 10 log (0.000127/10^-12) =80.79
= 81 dB
Therefore; the correct answer is 81 dB

Identify the energy transformations in the following actions.

Artemon [7]

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is only transferred through different forms of energy. For the following situations, the conversion of energy is as follows:

*Turning on a space heater = electrical energy⇒heat energy
*Dropping an apple core into the garbage = potential energy⇒kinetic energy
*Climbing up a rope ladder = kinetic energy⇒potential energy
*Starting a car = chemical energy⇒mechanical energy
<span>*Turning on a flashlight = chemical energy</span>⇒electrical energy

kaheart [24]

You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.
