Will two sounds of 50 db constitute a sound of 100 db . Explain

1 answer:

6 0

Two sounds of 50 db each will NOT constitute a 100 db sound. This is because, the relation that relates levels of sounds is a logarithmic relation and not a direct relation of addition. <span>Each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.
</span>This means that, for 50 db, the resultant sound level will be <span>twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01dB
</span>
The final sound level = 50 + 3.01 = 53.01 db

The time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 km/h to driv

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

$\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}$

$t=\frac{14\times3}{23}$

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th

vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

$\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm$

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
