While at a party, you pull up a sound intensity level app on your phone (everyone does stuff like that, right?), and it reads 83

dB . You look around and count 32 people talking. If you assume that each person contributes the same amount of noise, determine the sound intensity level of one of those people talking.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel and mathematically this is expressed as

\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_0}

Where,

\beta_{dB}= Sound intensity level in decibels

I = Acoustic intensity on the linear scale

I_0 = Hearing threshold

According to the values, the total intensity is 32 times the linear intensity and the value in decibels is 83dB

So:

10log_{10}(\frac{32I}{I_0}) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})+10log(32) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 83-10log(32)

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 67.948dB

Therefore the sound intensity due to one person is 67.948dB

What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 9ME and radius of 3RE, where ME and RE ar
Papessa [141]

Answer:

9.78 m/s²

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the gravitational formula

g = GM/r², where

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of the planet

r = radius of the planet

From the question, we got that the mass of the planet is

M = 9ME, where ME = 5.95*10^24

M = 9 * 5.95*10^24

M = 5.355*10^25 kg

Also, the Radius of the planet, R = 3RE, where RE = 6.37*10^6

R = 3 * 6.37*10^6

R = 1.911*10^7 m

On applying the values of both R and M to the equation, we get

g = GM/r²

g = (6.67*10^-11 * 5.355*10^25) / (1.911*10^7)²

g = 3.57*10^15/3.65*10^14

g = 9.78 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 9.78 m/s²

Juan amd kym have four samples of matter. They are observing and describing the properties of these samples. Which property will
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:

--> if the substance has a definite shape,

-->if the substance has a definite volume

--> if it's tightly packed.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.

Matter can exist in the following states:

--> Solid state

--> liquid state or

--> Gaseous state.

The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:

--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.

--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.

From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.
