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

-- 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.)

vitfil [10]

Answer:

In the context of the loop and junction rules for electrical circuits, a junction is where three or more wires are joined.

Explanation:

A point where at least three circuit paths meet i.e wires, is referred to as a junction.

Kirchhoff’s circuit laws are two(2) equations first published by Gustav Kirchhoff in 1845. Fundamentally, they address conservation of energy and charge in the context of electrical circuits. One of the laws known as Kirchoff's Current Law deals with the principle of application of conserved energy in electrical circuits. Kirchoff's Current Law states that the sum of all currents entering a junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction.

This basically means, the algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors(wires) meeting at a point is equal to zero

A skier descends a mountain at an angle of 35.0º to the horizontal. If the mountain is 235 m long, what are the horizontal and v
Masja [62]

Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as

L = 235 m

angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree

now we will have horizontal displacement as

x = L cos35

x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m

similarly for vertical displacement we can say

y = L sin35

y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 465 K? For m, use 0.0202 kg.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 757m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mole of neon gas = 1.00 mol

Temperature = 465k

Mass = 0.0202kg

Using the ideal gas equation. For calculating the average kinetic energy molecule :

0.5(mv^2) = 3/2 nRt

Where ;

M = mass, V = volume. R = gas constant(8.31 jK-1 mol-1, t = temperature in Kelvin, n = number of moles

Plugging our values

0.5(0.0202 × v^2) = 3/2 (1 × 8.31 × 465)

0.0101 v^2 = 5796.225

v^2 = 5796.225 / 0.0101

v^2 = 573883.66

v = √573883.66

v = 757.55109m/s

v = 757m/s
