A 90dB sound wave strikes an eardrum whose area is 5.0×10^-5m^2. How much energy is absorbed by the eardrum per second

Physics

-- The reference level for sound wave intensity is the threshold of human hearing, defined as  10⁻¹² W/m² .

-- This question is talking about a 90dB sound.  So its intensity is 10⁻³ W/m² .

-- The question tells us the size of the area that this sound is hitting.  So the power absorbed by that area is ...

Power = (intensity) x (area)

Power = (10⁻³ W/m²) x (5 x 10⁻⁵ m²)

Power = (10⁻³ x 5 x 10⁻⁵) W

<em>Power = 5 x 10⁻⁸ Watts</em>

(That's 5 x 10⁻⁸ Joules of energy per second.)

Describe the events leading to the discovery of the cell theory. Please help
bezimeni [28]
Back then, Robert Hooke found cells from a cork and named it cells. Later on, Matthias Schleiden found cells from plant parts and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodor Schwann, after observing many different animal cells, concluded that all animal have cells. Several years later, Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. Virchow proposed that every living organism has cells. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory

why would scientists use a control sample that has no dna from bighead carp in edna surveillance? a. to amplify the dna in small
Karolina [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientists would use a control sample that has no dna from bighead carp in edna surveillance in order to  to verify that no dna has contaminated the gel. It would eliminate certain errors in the experiment.

What is the difference between mechanical advantage and distance advantage? ​
eimsori [14]
A machine's distance mechanical advantage shows the effectiveness of the machine in moving an object a greater distance than the input distance. The equation for the distance mechanical advantage is the output distance divided by the input distance. Note: Most science books only consider force mechanical advantage. I HOPE THIS HELPS!

Which of the following situations best illustrates Newton's first law
kotykmax [81]
Newton's first law says that an object at rest will stay at rest, while an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

A great example of this is a ball sitting on the ground. The ball will not move until some force is used on it, rather that be you kicking it, the wind blowing it, etc. Once that force is used against it, the ball will continue to move until gravity, air resistance, a friction bring it to a stop.
