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

The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. The two forces in each pai
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when we apply force in one direction on an object then the object also applies a force in the opposite direction.

Hence, it is true that two forces in each pair of forces act in opposite directions.

For example, when we push a wooden box of 20 kg in the forward direction then the box will also apply a force in the opposite direction.

But the statement two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies is false.

In a laboratory, you determine that the density of a certain solid is 5.23× 10 −6 kg/m m 3 . convert this density into kilograms
tamaranim1 [39]

Density is given as

\rho = 5.23 * 10^{-6} kg/mm^3

now we have to convert this density into kg/m^3

now we have

1 m = 1000 mm

\rho = 5.23 * 10^{-6} \frac{kg}{(1*10^-3 m)^3}

\rho = 5.23 * 10^{-6} \frac{1*10^9 kg}{m^3}

\rho = 5.23 * 10^3 kg/m^3

\rho = 5230 kg/m^3

If spring has a spring constant of 500 N/m and is stretched .50 meters,how much energy is stored in the spring ((show work for f
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The energy stored is: 62.5 Joules

Explanation:

Given

k = 500N/m --- spring constant

x = 0.5m --- stretch

Required

The amount of energy

This is calculated as:

U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

U = \frac{1}{2} * 500N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 250N/m * (0.5m)^2

U = 62.5\ J
