The intensity of the sound from a certain source is measured at two points along a line from the source. The points are separate

d by 11.0 m, the sound level is 66.40 dB at the first point and 55.74 dB at the second point. How far is the source from the first point?

Answer:

The source is at a distance of 4.56 m from the first point.

Solution:

As per the question:

Separation distance between the points, d = 11.0 m

Sound level at the first point, L = 66.40 dB

Sound level at the second point, L'= 55.74 dB

Now,

L = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{o}}          

I = I_{o}10^{\frac{L}{10}} = I_{o}10^{0.1L} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 66.40} = 10^{- 5.36}      

L' = 10log_{10}\frac{I'}{I_{o}}

I' = I_{o}10^{\frac{L'}{10}} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 55.74} = 10^{- 6.426}        

where

I_{o} = 10^{- 12} W/m^{2}

I = Intensity of sound

Now,

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

Similarly,

I' = \frac{P}{4\pi (R + 11.0)^{2}}

Now,

\frac{I}{I'} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}

\frac{10^{- 5.36}}{10^{- 6.426}} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}

R ^{2} + 22R + 121 = 11.64R^{2}}

10.64R ^{2} - 22R - 121 = 0

Solving the above quadratic eqn, we get:

R = 4.56 m

A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizont
nikdorinn [45]

Answer

given,                            

mass of the piano = 170 kg              

angle of the inclination = 20°                

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²    

neglecting friction                                  

so, force required to pull the piano                    

F = m g sin θ                                                      

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°                                        

F = 570.39 N                                                    

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N

Martha must carry a 45 N package up three flights of stairs. Each flight of stairs has a height of 2.3m, and the actual distance
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

310.5 J

Explanation:

The total work done by Martha is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the package, which is equal to

\Delta U = mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 45 N is the weight of the package

\Delta h is the increase in height of the package

The package is carried up 3 flights of stairs, each one with a height of 2.3 m, so the total increase in heigth is

\Delta h = 3 \cdot 2.3 m=6.9 m

And so, the work done by Martha is

U=(45 N)(6.9 m)=310.5 J

Newton's second law problem. The spring constant can be determined from the balance of forces in equilibrium. Suppose the spring
mario62 [17]

Answer:

K =6.697 Kg/s²

Explanation:

Given:

delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg

delta x = 6cm = 0.06m

g = 9.8 m/s²

according to the given formula

K = delta m g /delta x

K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m

K =6.697 Kg/s²

During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death.  The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
