A fan at a rock concert is 50.0 m from the stage, and at this point the sound intensity level is 114 dB. Sound is detected when

a sound wave causes the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) to vibrate . Typically, the diameter of this membrane is about 8.40 mm in humans.
A.How much energy is transferred to her eardrums each second ?B.How fast would a 2.00 mg mosquito have to fly to have this much kinetic energy?C.How fast a typical 2.0 mg mosquito would have to fly (in mm/s) to have an amount of energy delivered to the eardrum each second when someone whispers (20 dB) a secret in your ear?D.Compare the mosquito's speeds found in parts (B) and (C).

Answer:

A) P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}

B) v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}

C) v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}

D) mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

Explanation:

Given:

  • Distance form the sound source, s=50\ m
  • sound intensity level at the given location, \beta=114\ dB
  • diameter of the eardrum membrane in humans, d=8.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m
  • We have the minimum detectable intensity to the human ears, I_0=10^{-12}\ W.m^{-2}

(A)

<u>Now the intensity of the sound at the given location is related mathematically as:</u>

\beta=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_0} ) ..........................................(1)

114=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )

11.4=log\ I+12\ log\ 10

I=0.2512\ W.m^{-2}

<em>As we know :</em>

I=\frac{P}{A}

0.2512=\frac{P}{\pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4} }

P=13.92\ J.s^{-1} is the energy transferred to the  eardrums per second.

(B)

mass of mosquito, m=2\times 10^{-6}\ kg

<u>Now the velocity of mosquito for the same kinetic energy:</u>

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

13.92=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2

v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}

(C)

Given:

  • Sound intensity, \beta = 20\ dB

<u>Using eq. (1)</u>

20=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )

2=log\ I+12\ log\ 10

I=10^{-10}\ W.m^{-2}

Now, power:

P=I.A

P=10^{-10}\times \pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4}

P=5.54\times 10^{-9}\ J.s^{-1}

Hence:

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

5.54\times 10^{-9}=0.5\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2

v=0.07444\ m.s^{-1}

v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}

(D)

mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

According to Coulomb’s Law, what happens to the force when the distance increase between 2 particles?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, <u>the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker</u>, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Explanation:

Coulomb’s law, mathematical description of the electric force between charged objects. Formulated by the 18th-century French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, it is analogous to Isaac Newton’s law of gravity.

Both gravitational and electric forces decrease with the square of the distance between the objects, and both forces act along a line between them. In Coulomb’s law, however, the magnitude and sign of the electric force are determined by the electric charge, rather than the mass, of an object. Thus, charge determines how electromagnetism influences the motion of charged objects. Charge is a basic property of matter. Every constituent of matter has an electric charge with a value that can be positive, negative, or zero.

Coulomb's Law says that the force between 2 charges is proportional to the product of the quantities of charge on each and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for Coulomb's Law is F=k\frac{q_{1}q_{2}   }{r^{2} }.

F is the force.

k is the Coulomb's constant (8.987*10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }).

q_{1} is the electric charge of object 1.

q_{2} is the electric charge of object 2.

r is the distance between the two charges.

Electric force is inversely proportional to (r^{2}) instead of (r). As the distance between charges increases, the electric force decreases by a factor of \frac{1}{r^{2} }.

You are working on charge-storage devices for a research center. Your goal is to store as much charge on a given device as possi
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Part B  Mica- mylar- paper- quartz

Explanation:

The capacity of a capacitor is given by

           C = ε ε₀ A / d

Where the dielectric constant (ε) is the value of the material between the plates of the capacitor, we see that as if value increases the capacity also increases.

Another magnitude that we must take into account that the maximum working voltage, the greater the safer is the capacitor

the flexibility of the material must also be taken into account

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Pate B order the materials from best to worst

Mica. The best ever

Mylar Flexible

Paper Low capacity, low working voltage, flexible

Quartz high dielectric, but brittle
