To understand the concept of intensity; the relationship between the power of the source and the intensity of the wave; and the

dependence of intensity on distance.Since waves transfer energy from one point to another, one can define the power of a wave as the rate at which the wave transports energy. The intensity of a wave, in contrast, is the power relative to a certain surface. Consider a wave traveling across a surface perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The intensity Iof the wave is defined as the ratio of the power P of the wave to the area A of that surface:I=PA.Note that the surface may be real (physical, like an eardrum or a windowpane) or mathematical. Quite frequently, we will be interested in the intensity produced by a relatively small source at a relatively large distance. If the source emits waves uniformly in all possible directions (produces spherical waves), the formula given here makes it possible to find the intensity at a distance r from the source:I=P/4?r^2.Note that, in all parts of this problem, assume that the source generates spherical waves, so that this intensity formula is applicable.Intensity is measured in watts per square meter (W/m^2). All the information presented here is pertinent to any kind of wave. In this problem, we will be focusing on sound waves.A popular car stereo has four speakers, each rated at 60 W. In answering the following questions, assume that the speakers produce sound at their maximum power.A:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.0 m.Express your answer numerically in watts per square meter. Use two significant figures.B:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.5 m.Express your answer numerically in watts per square meter. Use two significant figures.C:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by four 60-Wspeakers as heard by the driver. Assume that the driver is located 1.0 m from each of the two front speakers and 1.5 m from each of the two rear speakers.Express your answer numerically in watts per meter squared.The threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. It is approximately 10^?12W/m^2. Find the distance d from the car at which the sound from the stereo can still be discerned. Assume that the windows are rolled down and that each speaker actually produces 0.06 W of sound, as suggested in the last follow-up comment.

Answer:

a.  <em>4.77  </em>W/m^{2}

b. 2.122 W/m^{2}

c. <em>13.78</em> W/m^{2}

d. <em>69 km</em>

Explanation:

a.

power P of speaker = 60 W

distance d of speaker = 1.0 m

intensity I of speaker = P/4πd^{2}

I = 60/(4 x 3.142 x 1^{2}) = 60/12.568

Intensity = <em>4.77  </em>W/m^{2}

b.

at a distance of 1.5 m, intensity will be

I = P/4πd^{2}

I = 60/(4 x 3.142 x 1.5^{2}) = 60/28.278

Intensity = 2.122 W/m^{2}

c.

combined intensity of the two front speakers will be 2 x 4.77 = 9.54 W/m^{2}

combined intensity of the two back speaker will be 2 x 2.122 = 4.244 W/m^{2}

<em>total sound intensity perceived by the driver will be the superimposition of these four speakers.</em>

I = 9.54 + 4.244 =<em> 13.78</em> W/m^{2}

d.

Minimum discernible intensity of sound = 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

each speaker produces 0.06 W of power.

<em>We assume that each speaker spreads outward evenly.</em>

from<em> I = P/4π</em>d^{2}<em>,</em>

d = \sqrt{\frac{P}{4*\pi*I } }

d = \sqrt{\frac{0.06} {4*\pi*10^{-12 } } = 69094.35 m ≅ <em>69 km</em>

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?
tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. Onesatellite orbits with a speed vat a distance rfrom the center of t
Lelu [443]

Answer:

c) At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

If G= Gravitational constant

M= Mass of earth

r= distance from earth center

then orbital speed is ;

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

==> v²=GM/r

If speed of first satellite = V₁

==> V₁² = GM/r

==> r = GM/V₁²

If speed of second satellite say V₂ is less than V₁ then square of V₂ will be less than square of V₁ , and hence GM will be divided by less number in case of second satellite, and hence will give greater value of r as compared to first satellite.

So our answer is c

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun
