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!

Answer:

t = 10.1 s

d = 2020 m

Explanation:

Time to drop from vertical rest

h = ½gt²

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(500)/9.8) = 10.1 s

d = vt = 200(10.1) = 2020 m

If friction is ignored and the ball is dropped, it experiences a gain in ____ and a decrease in ___. Question 8 options: kinetic
seropon [69]

Answer:

My answer is when the ball is going it experience kinetic energy which is the energy of a moving object while when the ball has stopped then it will have potential energy which means it's at rest so for the ball not to experience friction then there is a gain in kinetic energy and decrease in potential energy.

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
