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.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity

Explanation:

Since they are connected to a constant voltage power source, the potential difference does not change. The potential difference is proportional to the product of the current and the resistance and, the resistance opposes the flow of electric current. It is clear to see that a large current that flows through the current means there is a lesser resistance to the flow of current at constant potential difference across the circuit.

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
