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

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon
Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v
