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?

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

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?
Verizon [17]

  • Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

  • Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

  • Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

  • Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

  • Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

A solid element that is malleable' a good conductor of electricity, and reacts with oxygen is classified as a
Finger [1]
1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.

Studies of sedimentary rocks and fossils have helped scientists understand the history of Earth. How is geologic time organized
grin007 [14]
Eras and then smaller periods based on geologic and biologic events that occurred during those times. According to geological time scale, there are six eras from the beginning some periods of few eras & then period is classified into smaller units called "epoch"

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

On a hot day, the temperature of a 65,000-L swimming pool increases by 1.20°C. What is the net heat transfer during this heating
vichka [17]

Answer:

326149.2 KJ

Explanation:

The heat transfer toward and object that suffered an increase in temperature can be calculated using the expression:

Q = m*cv*ΔT

Where m is the mass of the object, cv is the specific heat capacity at constant volume, which basically means the amount of heat necessary for a 1kg of water to increase 1C degree in temperatur, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

A 65000 L swimming pool will have a mass of:

65000L *\frac{1m^3}{1000L} * \frac{1000kg}{1m^3} = 65000 kg

The specific heat capacity at constant volume of water is equal to 4.1814 KJ/KgC.

We replace the data and get:

Q = m*cv*ΔT = 65000 kg * 4.1814 KJ/KgC * 1.2°C = 326149.2 KJ
