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

A 2.0 kg mass weighs 10 Newtons on planet X. what is the acceleration due to gravity on planet X? Show the work.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

please answer as soon as possible. How does the gravitational pull of different objects in space affect other objects in space?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other

explanation :  gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit. It can also cause life-destroying asteroids to crash into planets..

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.
