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

MakcuM [25]3 years ago

-- 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.)

The compound is (Sulphuric Acid) H2SO4. On reacting with (Sodium Hydroxide) NaOH, it gives (2 Water Molecules/Colored) 2H2O and (1 Sodium Sulfate Molecule/Salt) Na2SO4

H2SO4 + NaOH —> 2H2O (aq.) + Na2SO4 (salt)

The resulted salt/compound (Na2SO4) when reacting with Methyl Orange (MO) is called ”Removal of methyl orange dye and Na2SO4 salt from synthetic wastewater using reverse osmosis (RO)”

The efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes used for treatment of colored water effluents can be affected by the presence of both salt and dyes.

Concentration polarization of each of the dye and the salt and the possibility of a dynamic membrane formed by the concentrated dye can affect the performance of the RO membrane.

The objective of the current work was to study the effect of varying the Na2SO4 salt and methyl orange (MO) dye concentrations on the performance of a spiral wound polyamide membrane.

The work also involved the development of a theoretical model based on the solution diffusion (SD) mass transport theory that takes into consideration a pressure dependent dynamic membrane resistance as well as both salt and dye concentration polarizations.

Control tests were performed using distilled water, dye/water and salt/water feeds to determine the parameters for the model.

The experimental results showed that increasing the dye concentration from 500 to 1000 ppm resulted in a decrease in the salt rejection at all of the operating pressures and for both feed salt concentrations of 5000 and 10,000 ppm.

Increasing the salt concentration from 5000 to 10,000 ppm resulted in a slight decrease in the percent dye removal. The model’s results agreed well with these general trends.

100 cm is 1 meter. So your answer would be 0.362 meters.

An airplane touches down on the runway with a speed of 70 m/s2. Determine the airplane after each second of its deceleration.
ivann1987 [24]
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
---
vf = velocity final
vi = velocity initial
a = acceleration
d = distance
---
since the airplane is decelerating to zero, vf = 0
---
0 = 55*55 + 2*(-2.5)*d
d = (-55*55)/(2*(-2.5))
d = 605 meters

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.
