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

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 car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d
Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.

               ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

           =  (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365)  mile

           =      1.762380502 x 10¹³  miles

           =      1.8 x 10¹³  miles    (rounded to the nearest trillion miles)

hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex
