A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 105 m above the ground. On one hand, it would be a good idea to make the siren

very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit the siren from exceeding an intensity level of 101 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the siren can put out

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

101 dB = 10.1 B.

Maximum intensity of sound allowed = 10.1 B

Intensity of sound in terms of W/m² can be found as follows

log (I / I₀) = 10.1

I / I₀ = 10¹⁰°¹

I = I₀ X 10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹² X  10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹°⁹ W/m²

105 m above the ground the this intensity will be 105² times

intensity at source point = 10⁻¹°⁹ x 105²

= 138.79 W/m²

energy of sound from source

= 4π times

= 4 x 3.14 x 138.79

= 1743.28W/m²

To calculate in terms of decibel :

log 1743.28 / 10⁻¹²

= log 1743.28 +12

= 15.24 B

= 152.4 dB .

152.4 dB .

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

   Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

   Time  

         t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s          

   Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

    Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

    Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

    Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

             s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

    Height of throw = 1.4 m

    Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

    Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

    When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Which two points on the wave shown in the diagram below are in phase with each other?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

4. B and D

Explanation:

Two points along a transverse wave (such as the one in the figure) are said to be in phase when:

- the vertical position of the two points is the same

- The oscillation of the wave is going in the same way for both points

Basically, we say that two points are in phase when they are separated by a complete cycle (one complete oscillation) of the wave.

For this wave, we see that point B and C have same displacement, but they are not in phase since in B the oscillation is going down while in C is going up.

Instead, B and D are in phase, because they are separated by one complete cycle: both points have same displacement and the oscillation is going in the same way for both of them.

How does an increase in thermal energy affect the state of matter?
shusha [124]

Answer:

When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation). ... When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense.
