What is the intensity of a sound with a measured intensity level of 84 db? (i0 = 10-12 w/m2)?

1 answer:

7 0

The unit measurement for sound can be expressed in terms of intensity and in decibels. The intensity of sound is the measure of its power over unit area. The common unit of measurement is in decibels. This is commonly used in measuring the extent of noise. The conversion from intensity to the decibel unit is through logarithmic function. The formula is:

dB = 10 log(I/I0), where I0 is 10^-12 Watts per square meter

Substituting the values to the equation,

84 = 10log(I/10^-12)
I = 0.0002512 W/m2

In scientific notation the intensity is 2.512 x 10^-4 W/m^2.

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (never mind that you can't.)

Fofino [41]

Gravity on the surface of sun is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

here we know that

$M = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg$

$R = 6.95 \times 10^8 m$

now we will have

$g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.98 \times 10^30)}{(6.95 \times 10^8)^2}$

$g = 273.4 m/s^2$

now we need to find the ratio of weight on surface of sun and on surface of Earth

$R = \frac{mg_{sun}}{mg_{earth}}$

$R = \frac{273.4}{9.8} = 28 times$

so weight will increase by 28 times

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume

Papessa [141]

Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.
