How does sound intensity differ from loudness?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

Sound intensity is the amount of energy carried by sound versus loudness is a subjective measurement of the audible sound.

Sound intensity is measured in watt per square meter where loudness is measured in sones (sone is a subjective measurement and not an SI unit)

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?

hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

$P = I^2R$

make I subject of the formula we have

$I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }$

substitute

$I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps$

How much energy is needed to melt 5 g of ice? The specific latent heat of melting for water is 334000 J/kg.

Katen [24]

Answer:

The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ice = 5 g

Specific latent heat = 334000 J/kg

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

$Q=mL$

Where, m = mass

L = latent heat

Put the value into the formula

$Q=5\times10^{-3}\times334000$

$Q=1670\ J$

Hence, The needed energy to melt of ice is 1670 J.

What is occurring when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Destructive interference

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when waves come together in such a way that they completely cancel each other out. When two waves interfere destructively, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions.

A 38-kg canoe breaks free from its dock and floats downriver at a speed of 2.2 m/s. What is the momentum of the canoe? 48.0 m/s

Brut [27]

Momentum of a body is calculated by multiplying the mass of a moving body with its velocity. When a body is at rest it has zero momentum since the velocity is also zero.
In this case the momentum of the canoe will be;
38 kg × 2.2 m/s = 83.6 kgm/s
Therefore, the correct answer is 83.6 kg m/s
