Q 17.10: Receiver A detects a sound level of 75 dB at a distance of 25 m from a speaker, which emits sound equally in all direct

ions. Receiver B detects a sound level of 55 dB from the same speaker. How far is receiver B from the speaker

Answer:

250 m

Explanation:

We expect the distance to be more because the sound level has decreased.

Sound level (in decibels) is related to distance by

r_2 = r_1 \times  10^{\frac{|L_1-L_2|}{20}}

where L_1 is the sound level at a distance of r_1 and

L_2 is the sound level at a distance of r_2.

Using the values in the question,

r_{2} = 25\times10^{\frac{|75-55|}{20}} \text{ m}

r_2 = 25\times10^1 \text{ m}= 250 \text{ m}

As a note, when distance increases by 10, the sound level drops by 20 dB, which is what we have in the question.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

F_{2}=I_2lB_1

F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

F_2=-F_1

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s

Acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²
