You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 24.0m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 40.

0dB . So you decide to move closer to give the conversation a sound level of 80.0dB instead. How close should you come?

Answer:

The distance is r_2  =  0.24 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The  distance from the conversation is r_1    =  24.0 \ m

       The  intensity of  the sound at your position is  \beta _1 =  40 dB

        The  intensity at the sound at the new position is  \beta_2 =  80.0dB

Generally the intensity in  decibel is  is mathematically represented as

      \beta  =  10dB log_{10}[\frac{d}{d_o} ]

The intensity is  also mathematically represented as

      d =  \frac{P}{A}

So

    \beta  =  10dB *  log_{10}[\frac{P}{A* d_o} ]

=>   \frac{\beta}{10}  =  log_{10} [\frac{P}{A (l_o)} ]

From the logarithm definition

=>    \frac{P}{A  *  d_o}  =  10^{\frac{\beta}{10} }

=>      P =  A (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta }{ 10} } ]

Here P is the power of the sound wave

 and  A is the cross-sectional area of the sound wave  which is generally in spherical form

Now the power of the sound wave at the first position is mathematically represented as

               P_1 =  A_1 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ]

Now the power of the sound wave at the second  position is mathematically represented as

               P_2 =  A_2 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]

Generally  power of the wave is constant at both positions  so  

    A_1 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ]  = A_2 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]

      4 \pi r_1 ^2   [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ]  = 4 \pi r_2 ^2   [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]

        r_2 =  \sqrt{r_1 ^2 [\frac{10^{\frac{\beta_1}{10} }}{ 10^{\frac{\beta_2}{10} }} ]}

       substituting value

        r_2 =   \sqrt{ 24^2 [\frac{10^{\frac{ 40}{10} }}{10^{\frac{80}{10} }} ]}

        r_2  =  0.24 \  m

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is  Q =2.094 C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The diameter of the wire is  d =  0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m

     The radius of  the wire is  r =  \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025  \ m

     The resistivity of aluminum is 2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.

       The electric field change is mathematically defied as

         E (t) =  0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004

     

Generally the charge is  mathematically represented as

       Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

       A =  \pi r^2 =  (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2

 So

       \frac{A}{\rho} =  \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} =  120.03 \ m / \Omega

Therefore

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt

substituting values

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt

     Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.

From the question we are told that t =  5 sec

           Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.

          Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }

         Q =2.094 C

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops

A planet orbits a start with the path shown below.
kvv77 [185]

PART a)

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula

U = -\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r}

here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance

so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position

So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point

PART b)

Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here

so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum

So here speed is maximum at the nearest point

Part C)

since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance

Power selection feature for resistors to become water modules 10 liters of water at 25°C to đến
Mila [183]

Answer:

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Explanation:

First, we will find the mass of the water:

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Mass = m = (1 kg/L)(10 L)

m = 10 kg

Now, we will find the energy required to heat the water between given temperature limits:

E = mCΔT

where,

E = energy = ?

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 95°C - 25°C = 70°C

Therefore,

E = (10 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(70°C)

E = 2.927 x 10⁶ J

Now, the power required will be:

Power = P = \frac{E}{t}

where,

t = time = (20 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1200 s

Therefore,

P = \frac{2.927\ x\ 10^6\ J}{1200\ s}

<u>P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW</u>
