Three noise sources produce volume (loudness) levels of 70, 73, and 80 dB when acting separately. When the sources act together,

the resultant intensity is the sum of the individual intensities. Find the sound volume level in decibels when the three sources act at the same time.

Sound at 70 dB is 70 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 73 dB is 73 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁷.³  or  2 x 10⁷  times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 80 dB is 80 dB louder than the human reference level.  That's 10⁸  or 10 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Now we can adumup:

Intensity of all 3 sources = (10⁷) + (2 x 10⁷) + (10 x 10⁷)

Intensity = (13 x 10⁷) times the sound power reference intensity.

Intensity in dB = 10 log (13 x 10⁷) = 10 (7 + log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 (1.114)

Intensity = 70 + 11.14

Intensity = <em>81.14 dB</em>

Looking at the questioner's profile, I seriously wonder whether I'll ever get a comment in return from this creature, and how I'll ever find out if my solution is correct.  For that matter, I'm also seriously questioning how and whether my solution will ever be used for anything.

As the shuttle bus comes to a sudden stop to avoid hitting a dog, it accelerates uniformly at -4.1 m/s^2 as it slows from 9.0 m/
zhuklara [117]

Acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

      - 4.1 m/s²  =  (-9 m/s)  /  (time for the change)

Time for the change  =  (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²)  =   2.2 seconds

A television remote control uses infrared light with a wavelength of 940 nm. What is the frequency of the light?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s

Explanation:

Relationship b/w frequency and wavelength can be expressed as:

C = wavelength * frequency, where c is speed of light in vacuum which is 3.0*10^8 m/s.

Now simply input value (but before that convert wavelength into meters to match the units, you do this by multiply it by 10^-9 so it will be 940*10^-9)

3.0 * 10^8 = Frequency * 940 x 10^-9

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s
