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.

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 1.0 x 10^5. What is the wavelength of the wave?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The frequency , speed and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave are related by the formula

Speed = frequency x wavelength

frequency = speed / wavelength

substituting the values

frequency = 3 x #10 ^8# m /s / 1 x #10^15# m

= 3 x #10^-7# /s

<h2>Option 3,  216 m is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

We have initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

Time, t = 12 seconds

Final velocity, v = 21 m/s

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Substituting

                     21 = 15 + a x 12

                       a = 0.5 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

                           21² = 15² + 2 x 0.5 x s

                            s = 216 m

       Displacement = 216 m

Option 3,  216 m is the correct answer.

Two balls of mass m1 and m2, with velocities v1 and v2 collide head on. Is there any way for both balls to have zero velocity af
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the final Kinetic energy is zero or less than initial kinetic energy, the collision must be inelastic.  

In Inelastic collision both the bodies must stick together as final velocity is zero for both the bodies.

To conserve the momentum, momentum associated before the collision of first must be equal and opposite to the momentum associated with the second ball.

i.e.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2
