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!

An incident ray parallel to the axis and one through the focal point reflect and converge at the image.
Grace [21]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

A ray coming from the object hits the surface of a mirror and then passes through focus point after reflection. Since the image is formed by the actual meeting of the reflected rays therefore it is called as real image. the direction of arrow will be upward.

Same is true if the object is placed at center of curvature the coming ray along the parallel axis passes through the focus and bends downward. The point where the two reflecting rays will meet is the point of image. And the direction of image arrow will be downward. In this case image is formed between F and C.

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.22 m/s, due west. This average velocity results be
Vinvika [58]
Wow! 2.95m/s is a mighty fast pace for a backpacker. Must have one of those Star Wars anti-gravity packs. Also, I would be curious as to why she passed her destination and then walked back. 
<span>Anyway, it goes like this: </span>
<span>Say the time walking east is 't', and the total time is 'T'. </span>
<span>Then 5340 m + .511 t = 1.43 T </span>
<span>(This assumes that velocity is positive in both directions) </span>
<span>Two unknowns in one equation. But you also know that the time spent walking west is </span>
<span>5340m/ 2.95m/s = 1810 sec. </span>
<span>and the total time T = 1810 +t </span>
<span>Substitute this into the first equation, and you can solve for t = 3092 sec. </span>
<span>Then T = 4902 sec. and distance walked east is .511t = 1580m.</span>

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g=\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh

Using g=9.8m/s^2

Substitute the values

\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086

V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}

V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}

V=1.3m/s

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

mv+Mv'=(m+M)V

Using the formula

0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)

0.015v=3.015(1.3)

v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3

v=261.3 m/s
