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

Consider two wheels with fixed hubs. The hub cannot move, but the wheel can rotate about it. The hubs are fixed to a stationary
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 4 N

Explanation:

Given that

I=mr^2

For wheel A

m= 1 kg

d= 1 m,r= 0.5 m

F=1 N

We know that

T= F x r

T=1 x 0.5 N.m

T= 0.5 N.m

T= I α

Where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration

I_A=1 \times 0.5^2\ kg.m^2

I_A=0.25\ kg.m^2

T= I α

0.5= 0.25 α

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

For Wheel B

m= 1 kg

d= 2 m,r=1 m

I_B=1 \times 1^2\ kg.m^2

I_B=1 \ kg.m^2

Given that angular acceleration is same for both the wheel

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

T= I α

T= 1 x 2

T= 2 N.m

Lets force on wheel is F then

T = F x r

2 = F x 1

So F= 2 N

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 2 N

The human ear is sometimes called a Fourier analyzer. What does this mean and why is it an apt description? 1. Our ears can sort
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1. Our ears can sort out the individual sine waves from a mixture of two or more sine waves, so we hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Explanation:

A complex tone is a sound wave that consist of two or more forms of audible sound frequencies. Sound wave is a mechanical wave that is longitudinal, and could be represented by a sine wave because of it sinusoidal manner of propagation.

A Fourier analyzer can be used to differentiate individual sine waves from a combination of two or more of it; which is as the same function performed by human ear. To the human ear, a sound wave that consist of more than one sine wave will have perceptible harmonics which would be distorted and turn to a noise.

Thus, the human ear makes it possible to hear the pure tones that make up a complex tone.

Imagine you are on the top of a mountain with four basketballs. The mass of the four basketballs are 100 kilograms, 200 kilogram
pentagon [3]

Answer:

400 kilogram

Explanation:

Force exerted is directly proportional to the mass of an object.

F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration. Taking uniform acceleration on all objects then the larger the mass the higher the force and vice versa. Theredore, among the masses given, 400 kilograms is the largest hence it exerts the largest force at the bottom
