A listener increases his distance from a sound source by a factor of 4.49.

Physics
1 answer:
noname [10]3 years ago

Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

I ∝ 1/r²

I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1

When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.

Then,

r₂/r₁= 4.49

From equation 1

I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²

I₁/I₂ = 20.16

I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16

The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as

Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB

V125BC [204]
Change in volume = mass x coefficient of linear expansion x change in temperature
.002 x .0001802 x 30 = .000010812

initial volume + change in volume = Final volume
.002 + .000010812 = .002010812 m cubed

An automobile is traveling away from Jill and towards Jack. The horn is honking, producing a sound wave.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a. The sound will travel at the speed to both Jill and Jack

b. Jack

Explanation:

a. Doppler effect describes how the frequency of a sound wave changes with regards to an observer that has relative motion to the sound source;

The Doppler effect is given by the following formula;

For a sound that is moving away, as observed by Jill, we have;

f' = \dfrac{(v - v_0)}{(v + v_s)} \cdot f =  \dfrac{v }{(v + v_s)} \cdot f

For approaching sound, as observed by Jack, we have;

f' = \dfrac{(v + v_0)}{(v - v_s)} \cdot f =  \dfrac{v }{(v - v_s)} \cdot f

Where;

f = The sound wave's actual frequency

f' = The frequency of the moving sound to the observer

v = The speed of the sound wave

v₀ = The observer's velocity = 0

v_s = The velocity of the source (the automobile honking) of the sound wave

From the above equation, we have that the speed of sound, 'v', is the same to both the source, and the observer although the frequency, and therefore, the wavelength of the sound alternatively increases or decreases

b. From the Doppler effect equation, the person who will hear the highest frequency is given by the formula for the frequency when the sound is approaching the observer, which has the lower denominator

Therefore, given that the automobile is travelling towards Jack, jack will hear the higher frequency

A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c
Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

Define linear expansivity
lidiya [134]

Linear expansivity is a type of thermal expansion. It is described by a fraction that represents the fractional increase in length of a thin beam of a material exposed to a temperature increase of one degree Celsius. ... Linear expansivity is used in many real world applications.
