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

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height $\Delta h$ depends on the square of the time:

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ,

where

$\Delta h$ is the change in the ball's height.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
$t$ is the time for which the ball is in the air.
$v_0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.

The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. $\Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}$ .
Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so $g$ is also negative. $g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.
Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, $v_0 = 0$ .

Solve for $t$ .

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ;

$\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2}$ ;

$\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)}$ ;

$t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}$ .

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

Horizontal displacement of the ball: $\Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m}$ ;
Time taken: $\Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}$

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50

sergij07 [2.7K]

To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving.

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x) where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s
