Answer:

The sound level is 138.97 dB.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sound level L= 145 dB

We need to calculate the intensity

Using formula of sound intensity

$L=10\log(\dfrac{I}{I_{0}})$

Put the value into the formula

$145=10\log(\dfrac{I}{I_{0}})$

$\log(\dfrac{I}{I_{0}})=\dfrac{145}{10}$

$\log(\dfrac{I}{I_{0}})=14.5$

$\dfrac{I}{I_{0}}=10^{14.5}$

$I=10^{14.5}\times I_{0}$

$I=10^{14.5}\times10^{-12}$

$I=316.2$

We need to calculate the noise of one engine

Using formula of intensity

$I'=\dfrac{I}{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$I'=\dfrac{316.2}{4}$

$I'=79.05$

We need to calculate the intensity level due to one engine

Using formula of sound intensity

$L'=10\log(\dfrac{I'}{I_{0}})$

$L'=10\log(\dfrac{79.05}{10^{-12}})$

$L'=138.97\ dB$

Hence, The sound level is 138.97 dB

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg ·m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.8

Rasek [7]

Answer

given,

I = 0.140 kg ·m²

decrease from 3.00 to 0.800 kg ·m²/s in 1.50 s.

a) $\tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}$

$\tau = \dfrac{0.8-3}{1.5}$

τ = -1.467 N m

b) angle at which fly wheel will turn

$\theta= \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$\theta= \dfrac{L}{I} t +\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\tau}{I}t^2$

$\theta= \dfrac{3}{0.14}\times 1.5+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{-1.467}{0.14}\times 1.5^2$

θ = 20.35 rad

c) work done on the wheel

W = τ x θ

W = -1.467 x 20.35 rad

W = -29.86 J

d) average power of wheel

$P_{av} =-\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P_{av} =-\dfrac{(-29.86)}{1.5}$

$P_{av} =19.91\ W$

How would you determine how much error there is between a vector addition and the real results

chubhunter [2.5K]

Desired operation: A + B = C; {A,B,C) are vector quantities.

<span>Issue: {A,B} contain error (measurement or otherwise) </span>

<span>Objective: estimate the error in the vector sum. </span>

<span>Let A = u + du; where u is the nominal value of A and du is the error in A </span>
<span>Let B = v + dv; where v is the nominal value of B and dv is the error in B </span>
<span>Let C = w + dw; where w is the nominal value of C and dw is the error in C [the objective] </span>

<span>C = A + B </span>

<span>w + dw = (u + du) + (v + dv) </span>

<span>w + dw = (u + v) + (du + dv) </span>

<span>w = u+v; dw = du + dv </span>

<span>The error associated with w is the vector sum of the errors associated with the measured quantities (u,v)</span>

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: $1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire $I_1=2.2\ A$

Current in the second wire $I_2=5.9\ A$

wires are $20\ cm$ apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}$

Force exerted by the wires is the same

Put the values

$\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2$

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}$

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454$

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N$

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic

Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.
