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

A 250 g air-track glider is attached to a spring with springconstant 4.0 N/m. Th damping constant due to air resistance is0.015

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

33.33 seconds

Explanation:

$N=\dfrac{1}{e}N_0$

$N_0$ = Initial length pulled = 20 cm

b = Damping constant = 0.015 kg/s

k = Spring constant = 4 N/m

m = Mass of glider = 250 g

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.25}{4}}\\\Rightarrow T=1.57079632679\ s$

Using exponential decay formula

$N=N_0e^{\dfrac{-bt}{m}}$

Final amplitude = Initial times decay

$\dfrac{1}{e}0.2=0.2e^{\dfrac{-0.015t}{2\times 0.25}}\\\Rightarrow 0.2=0.2e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}\\\Rightarrow e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}=1\\\Rightarrow \ln \left(e^{\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1}\right)=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1\right)\ln \left(e\right)=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow \frac{-0.015t}{2\cdot \:0.25}+1=\ln \left(1\right)\\\Rightarrow -\frac{0.015t}{0.5}=-1\\\Rightarrow -0.000225t=-0.0075\\\Rightarrow t=33.33\ s$

The time taken is 33.33 seconds

A 5000-kg freight car crashes into a 10,000-kg freight car at rest. They couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. W

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s
