A sound wave from a siren has an intensity of 111.2 W/m2 at a certain point, and a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance has

an intensity level 13 dB greater than the siren's sound wave at the same point. What is the intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance

Answer:

The intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 153.5 dB.

Explanation:

The intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance can be calculated using the following equation:

\beta = 10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}})

<u>Where</u>:

I: is the intensity of the sound wave from a siren = 111.2 W/m²      

I₀: is the reference intensity = 1.0x10⁻¹² W/m²

\beta = 10log(\frac{111.2 W/m^{2}}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}) = 140.5 dB

Now, since the second sound wave from a nearby ambulance has an intensity level 13 dB we have:

I_{a} = 13 dB + 140.5 dB = 153.5 dB

Therefore, the intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 153.5 dB.

I hope it helps you!

A 25.0 kg bag of peat moss sits in the back of a flatbed truck, driving up a hill. The bag experiences a 225N normal force. The
malfutka [58]

Answer:

a

   \theta  =  23.32^o

b

  \mu_s =  0.27

c

s =  0.948 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bag is m_b  =  25.0 \  kg

The normal force experienced is F_n  =  225 \ N

The maximum acceleration of the bag is a =  2.40 \  m/s^2

Generally this normal force experience by the bag is mathematically represented as

F_n  =  mg cos \theta

=> 225  =  (25 * 9.8) cos \theta

=> 0.9183  =   cos \theta

=> \theta  = cos^{-1}[0.9183]

=> \theta  =  23.32^o

Generally for the bag not to slip , it means that the frictional force is equal to the sliding force

F_f =  F_s

Hence F_f is mathematically represented as

F_f   =  \mu_s  *  F_n

While F_s is mathematically represented as

F_s   =  m * a

So

\mu_s  *  F_n = m * a

=> \mu_s  *  225 = 25 * 2.40

=> \mu_s =  0.27

Generally from the workdone equation we have that

KE_f - KE_i =  W_f

Here W_f is the work done by friction which is mathematically represented as

W_f  =  m * g * \mu_k * s

Here s is the distance covered by the bag

KE_f is zero given that velocity at rest is zero

and

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}  *  m* v_i^2

so

   \frac{1}{2}  *  m* v_i^2 = m * g * \mu_k * s

=>  \frac{1}{2}  *  v_i^2 =   g * \mu_k * s

substituting  2.55 m/s for v_i and 0.350 for  \mu_k  we have that

     \frac{1}{2}  *  2.55^2 =   9.8 * 0.350 * s

=> s =  0.948 \  m

Heat likes to remain <br> ONMFRIU ← Whats that unscrambled?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>So the question is how does heat prefer to remain and to unscramble the letters ONMFRIU. The unscrambled letters mean: UNIFORM. The heat likes to remain uniform because thermodynamic systems always tend to reach thermal equilybrium after some period of time that is specific for each system. </span>
