The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that

four of your neighbors are all mowing their lawns using identical "Super-Silent" mowers. When they are each 20 m from your open bedroom window, what is the intensity level of the sound in your bedroom? You can neglect any absorption, reflection, or interference of the sound. The lowest detectable intensity is 1.0 × 10 -12 W/m 2.

Answer: The intensity level of sound in the bedroom is 80dB

Explanation:

Intensity of lawn mower at r=1m is 100dB

Beta1= 10dBlog(I1/Io)

100dB= 10dB log(I1/Io)

10^10= I1/Io

I1= Io(10^10)

10^12)×(10^10)= I1

I1=10^-2w/m^2

Intensity of lawn mower at r=20m

I2/I1=(r1/r2)^2 =(1/20)^2

I2= I1(1/400)

I2=2.5×10^-3W_m^2

Intensity of 4 lown mowers at 20m fro. Window

= 10dBlog(4I2/Io)

= 10^-4/10^-12

=80dB

The work done to compress a spring with a force constant of 290.0 N/m a total of 12.3 mm is: a) 3.57 J b) 1.78 J c) 0.0219 J d)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Work done, W = 0.0219 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m

We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2

W = 0.0219 J

So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
