The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that

four of your neighbors are all mowing their lawns using identical "Super-Silent" mowers. When they are each 20 m from your open bedroom window, what is the intensity level of the sound in your bedroom? You can neglect any absorption, reflection, or interference of the sound. The lowest detectable intensity is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB.

Answer:

The 80 dB option is correct.

Explanation:

The sound intensity level is converted to sound intensity with the formula

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

[D] = 100 dB

100 = 10 log (I/I₀)

Log (I/I₀) = 10

(I/I₀) = 10¹⁰

I = I₀ × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻¹² × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻² W/m²

But sound intensity varies inversely as the square of the distance of the sound.

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

At d = 1 m away, I = 10⁻² W/m²

0.01 = k/1

k = 0.01 W

At d = 20 m, we solve for I

I = 0.01/20² = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

4 people mowing their lawns at the same time,

I = 4 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁴ W/m⁻²

The sound intensity level in decibels is given as

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

[D] = 10 log (10⁻⁴/10⁻¹²)

[D] = 10 log (10⁸)

[D] = 10 × 8 = 80dB

How many joules of work are done on an object when a force of 10 N pushes it 5 m?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,                            

Force on the object = 10 N

distance of push = 5 m

Work done = ?              

we know,              

work done is equal to Force into displacement.

W = F . s            

W = 10 x 5              

W = 50 J                

Work done by the object when 10 N force is applied is equal to 50 J

Hence, the correct answer is option C

When an automobile moves with constant velocity, the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the ai
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The total frictional force is 358.0 newtons

Explanation:

Power is the amount of average work (W) an object does on a period of time (Δt):

P=\frac{W}{\Delta t}

Remember average work is average force (F) times displacement (Δs):

P=\frac{F \Delta s}{\Delta t}

but displacement over time is average speed v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}, then:

P=Fv (1)

That is, the power of the car is the force the engine does times the speed of the car. As the question states, if the car is at constant velocity then the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the air and the road, that is by Newton's first law, the force the motor of the car does is equal the force of frictional forces. So, to find the frictional forces we only have to solve (1) for F:

F=\frac{P}{v}

Knowing that 1hp is 746W then 30hp=22380W and 1 mile = 1609m then 140 mph = 225308\frac{m}{h} = 62.5 \frac{m}{s}, then:

F=\frac{22380}{62.5}=358.0 N

Set local ground level to 700 ft, and record the inches of mercury.
irakobra [83]

The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
