Sound source A has a deciBel rating of 50 dB. Sound source B is 1000 times more intense. What is the deciBel rating of B

Physics
1 answer:
masha68 [24]2 years ago
3 0

The decibel system of sound intensity operates by a logarithmic scale, meaning that sound intensity increases exponentially in relation to the decibel rating.

For decibels, the equation between intensity and the dB equivalent is:

dB = 10log(i),

where “i” is the intensity of the sound. The ten in front of the log means that an increase in ten dB results in a tenfold increase in sound intensity; for example, a 30 dB sound is ten times softer than a 40 dB sound.

In this case, a sound with a dB of 80 would be 1000 times more intense than a 50 dB sound, so the decibel rating of B is 80.

Hope this helps!

What is the relationship between balancing equations and the law of conservation of matter
harkovskaia [24]
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .

A 1.3-kg model airplane flies in a circular path on the end of a 23-m line. The plane makes
storchak [24]

(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in

(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s

(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:

(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude

<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²

(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is

<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
