You recently purchased a home four blocks from the busy tollway. On a typical evening, the decibel level resulting from tollway

traffic is 62 dB at the location of your house. Determine the decibel level on the same evening at a house 1 block from the tollway (four times closer).

Answer:

74dB

Explanation:

Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Thus, a house four times closer hears a sound 16x more intense.

The dB scale is logarithmic, so 16x louder than 62 dB is equal to

62 + 10*log(16) ~= 62 + 12 = 74dB

25.5 m/s in 5.75 s. What is the acceleration?
anzhelika [568]
Acceleration units are in m/s^2 , so you take 25.5 m/s divided by 5.75s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity :)

Could I please get some help on this question I don’t understand .
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

E = 420.9 N/C

Explanation:

According to the given condition:

Net\ Force = 2(Magnetic\ Force)\\Electric\ Force - Magnetic\ Force = 2(Magnetic\ Force)\\Electric\ Force = 3(Magnetic\ Force)\\qE = 3qvBSin\theta\\E = 3vBSin\theta

where,

E = Magnitude of Electric Field = ?

v = speed of charge = 230 m/s

B = Magnitude of Magnetic Field = 0.61 T

θ = Angle between speed and magnetic field = 90°

Therefore,

E = (3)(230\ m/s)(0.61\ T)Sin90^o

<u>E = 420.9 N/C</u>

Speed of violet light in vacuum
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Explanation: Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, but it slows down to 225,000 kilometers per second in water (refractive index of 1.3; see Figure 2) and 200,000 kilometers per second in glass (refractive index of 1.5).
