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.

Draw velocity-ime graph for uniform moion of an object , when initially body is at rest.
Klio2033 [76]
When the body is at rest, its speed is zero, and the graph lies on the x-axis.

When the body is in uniform motion, the speed is constant, and the graph is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis and some distance above it.

It's impossible to tell, based on the given information, how these two parts of the
graph are connected.  There must be some sloping (accelerated) portion of the graph
that joins the two sections, but it cannot be accounted for in either the statement
that the body is at rest or that it is in uniform motion, since acceleration ... that is,
any change of speed or direction ... is not 'uniform' motion'.

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer
son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$  rev/sec

                             $=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$  rad/sec

                              = 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

   $$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5  

   = 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

   = 427126.9 x 7.5

   = 3,203,451.75 J

PLEASE HURRY, I'M BEING TIMED!
spayn [35]

Option D is correct. The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

Speed is a body is defined as the ratio of the distance with respect to the time taken by the body. Mathematically:

Speed = Distance/Time

GIven the following

Distance = 104km/hr

If it is 6:00 p.m. in New York, it is 7:00 a.m. of the next day of the week in Tokyo, this means that the time difference between New York and Tokyo is 11 hours.

Time = -11 hours

Get the required speed

Speed = 104/-11

Speed = -9.454545

Speed = -10km/hr

The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

Newton believed that time and space are absolute, while Einstein believed that the _______ is absolute.
8_murik_8 [283]
Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.
