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

calculate the amount of heat (in btu) needed to raise the temp of 2.5lb of glass from 45°f to 350°f. the specific heat capacity
Firlakuza [10]
So you would use the equation Q=cmΔT, where c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and ΔT is change in temperature. Q, or heat added, would equal (0.187)(2.5)(350-45), which simplifies to 142.5875 btu.

Define the following:
belka [17]
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants

If the specific surface energy for magnesium oxide is 1.0 J/m2 and its modulus of elasticity is (225 GPa), compute the critical
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The critical stress required for the propagation of an initial crack              \sigma_{c} =  21.84 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

Modulus of elasticity E = 225 × 10^{9} \frac{N}{m^{2} }

Specific surface energy for magnesium oxide is \gamma_{s} = 1 \frac{J}{m^{2} }

Crack length (a) = 0.3 mm = 0.0003 m

Critical stress is given by \sigma_{c}^{2} } = \frac{2 E \gamma}{\pi a} -------- (1)

⇒ 2 E \gamma_{s} = 2 × 225 × 10^{9} × 1 = 450 × 10^{9}

⇒ \pi a = 3.14 × 0.0003 = 0.000942  

⇒ Put these values in equation 1 we get

⇒ \sigma_{c}^{2} } = \frac{450  }{0.000942} 10^{9}

⇒ \sigma_{c}^{2} } = 4.77 × 10^{14}

⇒ \sigma_{c} = 2.184 × 10^{7} \frac{N}{m^{2} }

⇒ \sigma_{c} =  21.84 \frac{N}{mm^{2} }

⇒ \sigma_{c} =  21.84 M pa

This is the critical stress required for the propagation of an initial crack.
