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.)

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}

h = 2.3 m

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.

The main difference between turbojets and rocket engines is the fact that
mafiozo [28]

Answer;

D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.

Explanation;

-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.

-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.

Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! Is string a ferromagnetic material?
Contact [7]

Answer:

See, the string is made of nickel and steel (iron+carbon), materials that are ferromagnetic. That is, a magnet attracts guitar strings. When this ferromagnetic metal vibrates in the magnetic field of the pickup, that disturbs the red field lines which also cross through the coil (not shown).
