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

Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house but stops to talk to a neighbor whe
spin [16.1K]
Average velocity =

      (displacement) / (time for the displacement)
and
      (direction of the displacement) .

Displacement =

      (distance from the start-point to the end-point)
and
      (direction from the start-point to the end-point)   .

When Ben is 200 meters from the corner store,
he is (500 - 200) = 300 meters from his house.

His displacement is

         300 meters in the direction
                             from his house to the neighbor .


His average velocity is

         (300/910) =  0.33 meters per second, in the
                               direction from his house to the neighbor .

A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

C) An identical spring is pulled with a force or 75 N The elastie limit of the spring is 72N
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is <u>plastic</u>, not <u>elastic</u>.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, stress is equal to the axial force divided by effective transversal area of spring. In addition, springs have usually a linear relationship between stress and strain in <u>elastic region</u>, since they are made of ductile materials. Axial force is directly proportional to axial stress, which is also directly proportional to axial strain.

Then, if force is greater than force associated with elastic limit of the spring, then spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is <u>plastic</u>, not <u>elastic</u>.
