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 person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

If object A has more mass than object B, what will object A need to accelerate at the same rate as object B?
Leni [432]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

  For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force  = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.

Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s  in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $ 10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $ 10^5$  kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $ 10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $ 10^5$

So, $ V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000} $  = $ \frac{100}{3} $  m/s

and $ V_y=\frac{160}{3}$  m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $ \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} $

                                   = $ \sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2} $

                                   = 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $ \frac{V_y}{V_x}$     = 1.6

therefore, $ \theta = \tan^{-1}1.6 $

                   = $ 58 ^{\circ}$  from x-axis

What of the following is the mathematical form of boyles law?
viva [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

V=1/p

By means of cross multiplication so by that we will have pv=1 which also implies p1v1=p2v2 coz boyles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure provided that the temperature in kelvin remains constant
