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>

How many possible outcomes are there in rolling a spinner 1 to 8?; What is the probability of spin an even number on a 1 to 8 sp
UkoKoshka [18]

The probability of getting a prime number ( 2, 3, 5, 7) between 1 to 8 is 1/2. The total outcomes possible for spinning the spinner and tossing the coin is 16.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur is called probability.

Total number of outcomes = 8.

Let, the probability of getting a prime number ( 2, 3, 5, 7) between 1 to 8

P(E) = (no. of outcomes) /( total no. of outcomes)

=4/8

=1/2

When a coin is tossed,  there are two possible outcomes that are H(head), and T(tail).

If you spin the spinner , there are 8 possibilities.

Total outcomes = 8 * 2

=16

There are 16 outcomes, when spinning a spinner numbered from 1 to 8 and tossing a coin.

Please help me
Helen [10]

Answer:

15 protons and 18 electrons

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Element Number
  • Neutral Atoms
  • Ions

Explanation:

We are given the element P. P is 15 on the Periodic Table, meaning it has 15 protons and 15 electrons (all elements are in neutral form).

P³⁻ ion means the element now has a negative charge of 3. We know protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. 3- means we will have more electrons than protons.

Therefore, P³⁻ would have 15 protons and <em>18</em> electrons:

15 (+) + 18 (-) = 3 (-)

If an incident light ray hits a flat smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of…
Nookie1986 [14]

Option B is correct. If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28°. It will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

Hence, option B is correct

Can a runner's average speed be different from her average velocity?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, meaning it also relies on direction, the average speed can be different from her average velocity. An example would be if a runner turned around and ran backward after running 10 meters and returned to her starting point. If you took her average velocity of the entire trip it would actually be 0 but her average speed obviously would not be. This is why velocity can be negative but speed cannot.
