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.

storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.
