Jet aircraft maintenance crews are required to wear protective earplugs. Members of a particular crew wear earplugs that reduce

the sound intensity by a factor of 215. If, when the jet is fired up, the sound intensity level experienced by the crew members wearing protective earplugs is 87 dB, determine the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs.

Answer:

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

Explanation:

Given data

Sound intensity by factor =215

Sound intensity level =87 dB

To find

Sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs

Solution

First we need to find the new sound intensity level

So

$I_{n}=215(10^{\frac{87}{10} } )\\I_{n}=1.08*10^{11})$

The dB can be calculated as:

$dB=10log(I_{n})\\$

Substitute the given values

$dB=10log(1.08*10^{11})\\dB=110.32dB$

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight of 805 N and a radius of 1.58 m. A child appl

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The value is $KE = 259.6 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the horizontal solid disk is $W = 805 \ N$

The radius of the horizontal solid disk is $r = 1.58 \ m$

The force applied by the child is $F = 49.5 \ N$

The time considered is $t = 2.95 \ s$

Generally the mass of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$m_h = \frac{W}{ g}$

=> $m_h = \frac{805}{ 9.8 }$

=> $m_h = 82.14 \ N$

Generally the moment of inertia of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^ 2$

=> $I = \frac{1}{2} * 82.14 * 1.58^ 2$

=> $I = 102.5 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the net torque experienced by the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$T = I * \alpha = F * r$

=> $\alpha = \frac{ F * r }{ I }$

=> $\alpha = \frac{ 49.5 * 1.58 }{ 102.53 }$

=> $\alpha = 0.7628$

Gnerally from kinematic equation we have that

$w = w_o + \alpha t$

Here $w_o$ is the initial angular velocity velocity of the horizontal solid disk which is $w_o = 0\ rad/s$

So

$w = 0 + 0.7628 * 2.95$

=> $w = 2.2503 \ rad/s$

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2$

=> $KE = \frac{1}{2} * 102.53 * 2.2503 ^2$

=> $KE = 259.6 \ J$

Determine the mass of Ar in 1.00 liter of a gas mixture at 25oC which contains 0.300 atm of Ne and has a total pressure of 4.00

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The mass of Ar is 36.91g

Explanation:

The gas mixture consist of Neon(Ne) and Argon(Ar)

Partial pressure of Ar = total pressure of mixture - partial pressure = 4 - 0.3 = 3.7 atm

Mole fraction of Ar = partial pressure of Ar ÷ total pressure of mixture = 3.7/4 = 0.925

Mass of Ar = 0.925 × molecular weight of Ar = 0.925 × 39.9 = 36.91g

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

$N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where:

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

$mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}$

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

$v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s$
