Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

I $\alpha$ N

I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒ k = $\frac{I}{N}$

= $\frac{74.3}{199}$

k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

I = kN

= 0.3734 × 138

= 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.

What Is a Sound Wave? Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency wavelength, l

NISA [10]

Answer:

A) Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

B) air is the medium in which the wave is transported,

Explanation:

Part A.

A sound wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the molecules that forms in a material medium, they can be solid, liquid or gases, therefore the wave propagates in the same direction as the oscillation of the particles.

The most correct answer is:

* Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

Part b

air is the medium in which the wave is transported, otherwise it cannot propagate

Careful measurements have been made of Olympic sprinters in the 100-meter dash. A quite realistic model is that the sprinter's v

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. $\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. $t=9.9 \ sec$

Explanation:

Modeling With Functions

Careful measurements have produced a model of one sprinter's velocity at a given t, and it's is given by

$\displaystyle V(t)=a(1-e^{bt})$

For Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships, the values of a and b are

$\displaystyle a=11.81\ ,\ b=-0.6887$

Please note we changed the value of b to negative to make the model have sense. Thus, the equation for the velocity is

$\displaystyle V(t)=11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})$

a. What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

To compute the accelerations, we must find the function for a as the derivative of v

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=11.81(0.6887\ e^{0.6887t})$

$\displaystyle a(t)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887t}$

For t=0

$\displaystyle a(0)=8.133547\ e^o$

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

For t=2

$\displaystyle a(2)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 2}$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 4}$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

The distance is the integral of the velocity, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=\int v(t)dt \int 11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})dt=11.81(t+\frac{e^{-0.6887t}}{0.6887})+C$

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45201\ e^{-0.6887t})+C$

To find the value of C, we set X(0)=0, the sprinter starts from the origin of coordinates

$\displaystyle x(0)=0=>11.81\times1.45201+C=0$

Solving for C

$\displaystyle c=-17.1482\approx -17.15$

Now we complete the equation for the distance

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. Find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

The equation for the distance cannot be solved by algebraic procedures, but we can use approximations until we find a close value.

We are required to find the time at which the distance is 100 m, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=100=>11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15=100$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t}=9.92$

We define an auxiliary function f(t) to help us find the value of t.

$\displaystyle f(t)=t+1.45\ e^{-0.687t}-9.92$

Let's try for t=9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9)=9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9}-9.92=-0.92$

Now with t=9.9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9.9)=9.9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9.9}-9.92=-0.0184$

That was a real close guess. One more to be sure for t=10 sec

$\displaystyle f(10)=10+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 10}-9.92=0.081$

The change of sign tells us we are close enough to the solution. We choose the time that produces a smaller magnitude for f(t).

$At t\approx 9.9\ sec, \text{ Lewis sprinted 100 m}$

What is one advantage of doing a field experiment instead of a laboratory experiment

Flauer [41]

It mimics the real world accurately

Explanation:

Experiments conducted in the field clearly presents the real world at it is to the scientist. Hardly can any part be controlled precisely and this gives a near to perfect scenario.

In the laboratory, for example, an organism is isolated from its environment and might not fully display its natural instinct and physiological capabilities.
Most laboratory set up are driven towards a model instead of real life settings.
The laboratory is more controlled and less varied and might truly represent the real world. It will only portray a part of the real world and series of further tests might have to be carried out to have a better model.
