The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that

four of your neighbors are all mowing their lawns using identical "Super-Silent" mowers. When they are each 20 m from your open bedroom window, what is the intensity level of the sound in your bedroom? You can neglect any absorption, reflection, or interference of the sound. The lowest detectable intensity is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2.

Answer:

The intensity level in the room is 63 dB

Explanation:

To calculate the intensity of sound in the room, we use the equation of definition of decibels

     β = 10 log (I / Io)      (1)

With “I” the sound intensity and “Io” the threshold intensity 1.0 10⁻⁻¹² W/m²

To calculate the intensity we will use the initial data and remember the power of the emitted sound is constant, in addition that the sound propagates in three-dimensional form or on a spherical surface

      I = P/A    ⇒    P = I A

The area of ​​a sphere is 4 π r², where I can calculate of 1

     β/10 = log (I/Io)

   I / Io = {10}^{\beta /10}

   I = Io  {10}^{\beta /10}

   I = 1 10⁻¹² 10⁽¹⁰⁰/¹⁰⁾   = 1 10⁻¹² 10¹⁰

   I = 1.0 10⁻² W

With this we can calculate the intensity for a distance of 20 m

 I  = 1.0 10⁻² / ( 4π 20²)

 I =  2.0 10⁻⁶ W/m²

We have already found the intensity at the point of interest, so we can calculate the intensity in decibels at this point with equation 1

    β = 10 log(2.0 10⁻⁶ / 1.0 10⁻¹²)

    β = 10 log ( 2 10⁶) = 10  6.3

    β = 63 dB

The intensity level in the room is 63 dB

We can see Objects because of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

I believe it's A.)

Explanation:

Although light comes into our atmosphere through refraction, it reaches our eyes only through reflection from objects. So when light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea you can then see that object.

Hope this helps you out : )

This question is wrong because in momontum we will write acceleration instead of speed.     suppose acceleration is 5m/s2 then

A deuterium atom is a hydrogen atom with a neutron added to its nucleus. Approximate the binding energy of this nucleus, given t
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered
