1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.

marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

$B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB$

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

$v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s$

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

$f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )$

where;

-v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
-vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
fs is the source frequency
fo is the observed frequency
v is speed of sound

$f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )$

$f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz$

A professional golfer hits a golf ball of mass 46 g with her 5-iron, and the ball first strikes the ground 155 m away. The ball

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, $F_r=Cv^2$

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

$Cv^2=mg$

$C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}$

$C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}$

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his<br>acceleration?

Lapatulllka [165]

The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

$Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}$

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh

Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v^2_o-2ax$

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

$F=ma$

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

$F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N$

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

Answer:

Refraction

Explanation:

When light passes from a rarer medium into a denser medium, it bends in the medium away from the normal. This creates the phenomenon of "apparent depth" as given in the question.
