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

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a)   w = 9.599 10⁴ rad / s , b)   v = 3.35 10¹⁶ m / s , c)    a = 3.22  10²¹ m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the relation of angular kinematics

a) angular velocity, the distance remembered in orbit between time (period)

         w = 2π r / T

         w = 2 π 3.59 10¹¹ / 2.35 10⁷

         w = 9.599 10⁴ rad / s

b) linear and angular velocity are related by the equation

          v = w r

          v = 9,599 10⁴ 3.49 10¹¹

          v = 3.35 10¹⁶ m / s

c) the centripetal acceleration is

            a = v² / r = w² r

            a = (9,599 10⁴)²   3.49 10¹¹

            a = 3.22  10²¹ m / s²

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The current will decrease.

Explanation:

When another bulb is added, the resistance is going to increase. Keep in mind that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance (<em>Ohm's law: R= </em><em>V</em><em>/</em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>).</em> Therefore when the resistance increase, the current running in the circuit will decrease.
