There are several definitions of 'pitch', but I think you mean how 'high' or 'low' a sound sounds to our ear.

If that's it, then you're talking about the frequency of the sound, and the unit is 'vibrations per second' or 'Hertz' (<em>Hz</em>) .

Jet aircraft maintenance crews are required to wear protective earplugs. Members of a particular crew wear earplugs that reduce

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

Explanation:

Given data

Sound intensity by factor =215

Sound intensity level =87 dB

To find

Sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs

Solution

First we need to find the new sound intensity level

$I_{n}=215(10^{\frac{87}{10} } )\\I_{n}=1.08*10^{11})$

The dB can be calculated as:

$dB=10log(I_{n})\\$

Substitute the given values

$dB=10log(1.08*10^{11})\\dB=110.32dB$

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

A grinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 8.65 cm and a mass of 0.400 kg . Calculate its moment of inertia about i

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

I = 1.5*10⁻³ kg*m²

Explanation:

It can be showed that the moment of inertia (or rotational inertia) for a uniform cylinder of mass m and radius r, respect an longitudinal axis going through its center (parallel to the height of the cylinder) can be written as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}*m*r^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*0.400 kg*(0.0865m)^{2} = 1.5e-3 kg*m2$

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.

Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

Where are truss bridges located?

guapka [62]

Basic truss bridge types found in North Carolina (source: HAER) A truss bridge can be characterized by the location of its traffic deck. At a pony truss, the travel surface passes along the bottom chords of trusses standing to either side that are not connected to each other at the top.
