If two firecrackers produce a sound level of 81 dBdB when fired simultaneously at a certain place, what will be the sound level

if only one is exploded?

Answer:

77.96dB

Explanation:

Recall that decibels are a unit of measuring intensity of sound, and depend on the logarithm of the intensity

the intensity, measured in decibels is given by:

I(db)=10log(I/I0)

I is the intensity in MKS units; I0 is the threshold intensity for human hearing (10^-12 W/m^2)

Thus, if the two sounds together have a dB of 81, we know:

81=10log(I/I0)

using the data above, we can find the intensity of the two sounds to be

0.000125 W/m^2

therefore, one firecracker has an intensity half of that, or 0.0000625W/m^2

now use this value to find the dB of one firecracker:

I(dB0=10log(0.0000625/10^-12)=77.96dB

Answer:

The extension of a material or a spring is its increase in length when pulled. Hooke’s Law says that the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it. In other words:

A kayakeris paddling 2.50 m/s at an angle of 45° (northeast) and the current is moving 1.25 m/s at an angle of 315° (southeast).
PIT_PIT [208]

The kayaker has velocity vector

<em>v</em> = (2.50 m/s) (cos(45º) <em>i</em> + sin(45º) <em>j</em> )

<em>v</em> ≈ (1.77 m/s) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )

and the current has velocity vector

<em>w</em> = (1.25 m/s) (cos(315º) <em>i</em> + sin(315º) <em>j</em> )

<em>w</em> ≈ (0.884 m/s) (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> )

The kayaker's total velocity is the sum of these:

<em>v</em> + <em>w</em> ≈ (2.65 m/s) <em>i</em> + (0.884 m/s) <em>j</em>

That is, the kayaker has a velocity of about ||<em>v</em> + <em>w</em>|| ≈ 2.80 m/s in a direction <em>θ</em> such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (0.884 m/s) / (2.65 m/s)   →   <em>θ</em> ≈ 18.4º

or about 18.4º north of east.

A 10-kg object is pushed across a rough surface. It begins at rest and accelerates to a speed of 4 m/s in a distance of 5m. Whic
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unbalanced Force according to newton's second law is the one which causes  the object to move or break its state of rest on application of force.

Here the object accelerate to a speed of 4 m/s and moves a distance of 5 m on application of force .

Thus we can say that the applied force is unbalanced in nature.

A train travels 90 kilometers in 4 hours, and then 82 kilometers in 1 hours. What is its average speed?
kvasek [131]
Average speed = total distance / total time.

That's 172 km / 5 hr = 34.4 km//hr
