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

The probability of breaking a tree branch increases
inessss [21]

Answer:

Its due to moment of force. Explanation: Possibility of breaking the branch increases when a person goes to the tip of the branch due to moment of force. Due to moment of force, branch tend to bend downward when we go at the tip of branch.

When a bat uses echolocation to determine the distance to an insect, it sends out a sound wave and waits to see how long the sou
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by sound in going to target( insect )  and returning back = 2d ,d is distance of target .

time t = .06 s

speed = distance / time

344.9 = 2d / .06

d = 10.35 m

That 1.5 kg brick falls to the ground. What is the kinetic energy when the brick is moving at 26 m/s? Formula: Variables: Work w
Tresset [83]

Answer:

<h2>507 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1.5 \times  {26}^{2}  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1.5 \times 676 \\  = 1.5 \times 338  \\ = 507

We have the final answer as

<h3>507 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.
