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!

What kind of weather ,begin emphasis,most,end emphasis, likely happens in the town when the air masses meet?
Crazy boy [7]

Storm weather likely happens in the town when the air masses meet because of difference of temperature and humidity of both air masses.

<h3>What weather happens when air masses meet?</h3>

When air masses move by wind, they carry different weather conditions from the weather conditions of other region. This difference in weather conditions can create a severe storm.

So we can conclude that Storm weather likely happens in the town when the air masses meet because of difference of temperature and humidity of both air masses.

The moment of inertia for a 5500 kg solid disc is 12100 kg-m^2. Find the radius of the disc? (a) 2.111 m (b) 2.579 m (c) 1.679
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Moment of inertia I = 12100 kg-m²

Mass of disc m = 5500 kg

Moment of inertia :

The moment of inertia is equal to the product of the mass and square of the radius.

The moment of inertia of the disc is given by

I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}

Where, m = mass of disc

r = radius of the disc

Put the value into the formula

12100=\dfrac{5500\times r^2}{2}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{12100\times2}{5500}}

r= 2.098\ m

Hence, The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?​
Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

Put all the values,

h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.14 g and a charge of -22.0 nc . it is 10 cm directly above an identical sphere with the sam
Allushta [10]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's law written in equation as:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electrical force
k is a constant equal to 9×10⁹ 
Q₁ and Q₂ are the charge of the two objects
d is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the values:

F = (9×10⁹)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)/(0.10 m)²
F = 0.0004356 N

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m
