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?
Physics

Mrac [35]3 years ago

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

A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Range on the cannon ball is given as

d = 500.0 m

here the angle of the projection of the ball is given as 45 degree

now we know that if the velocity of the ball is "v" then its two components will be given as

v_x = vcos45

v_y = vsin45

so here time of flight of the motion is given as

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2vsin45}{g}

also the range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (vcos45)(\frac{2vsin45}{g})

now plug in all data in this equation

500.0 = \frac{v^2(2sin45cos45)}{g}

v = 70 m/s

What are the characteristics of Parallel circuit??<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through.

Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.

The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

Why are stars given an absolute magnitude?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The solution was to implement an absolute magnitude scale to provide a reference between stars. To do so, astronomers calculate the brightness of stars as they would appear if it were 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs from Earth.
