Answer:

A number of things

Explanation:

When a light wave with a single frequency strikes an object, a number of things could happen. The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 34 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.0 cm2 area is 44 m fr
rjkz [21]

Answer:

<u>Part A</u>

I = 1.4 mW/m²  

<u>Part B</u>

β = 91.46 dB

Explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.

For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;

                                            I = \frac{P}{A}

                                            I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}

Where;

P is the source of power in watts (W)

I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)

r is the distance r away

Given:

P = 34 W,

A = 1.0 cm²

r = 44 m

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;

                                     I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}

                                     I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}

                                     I = 0.0013975 W/m²

                                 ≈  I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²

                                     I = 1.4 mW/m²

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².

<u>Part B</u>

Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value.  It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.

Sound intensity level is calculated as;  

                                    β = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{0}}  dB

Where,

β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)

I is the sound intensity;

I₀ is the reference sound intensity;

By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

           ∴        β = 10log_{10}\frac{1.4 * 10^{-3} W/m^{2}}{1.0 * 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}

                      β = 10log_{10} (1.4 * 10^{9})

                      β = 91.46 dB

The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will _____.
shtirl [24]
Newton's second law says that the acceleration of an object is produced by the force exerted on it.
Having this in mind, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will <u>accelerate according to the applied force.</u>
