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!

8. Ella wants to replace old bulbs of her home with new LED bulbs. She buys LED bulb that has inbuilt AC to DC converter of outp
tankabanditka [31]

The power dissipated by the LED is 20 Watts and the work done for 1 hour 15 minutes is 56.25 kJ.

<h3>What is electrical power?</h3>

Electrical power is the rate at which electrical work is done.

  • Electrical power = voltage × current

The LED is 75% efficient means that 75% of power dissipated by the LED is converted to light.

Total power dissipated = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 Watts

  • Work done = power × time (in seconds)

Work done = 12.5 × (1 × 3600 + 15 × 60)

Work done = 56250 J = 56.25 kJ

Therefore, the power dissipated by the LED is 20 Watts and the work done for 1 hour 15 minutes is 56.25 kJ.

A capacitor in an LC oscillator experiences a maximum potential difference of 88V and a maximum energy of 2002 uJ. At a certain
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

maximum energy of capacitor

E = 1/2 C V ²

C is capacitance of capacitor and V is potential difference

given V = 88 V

E = 2002 x 10⁻⁶ J

Putting the values

2002 x 10⁻⁶ = 1/2 x C x 88²

C = .517 x 10⁻⁶ F  .

In the second case

Energy E = 125 x 10⁻⁶ J .

C = .517 x 10⁻⁶

V =  ?

E = 1/2 C V ²

125 x 10⁻⁶  = 1/2 x  .517 x 10⁻⁶ x V²

V² = 483.55

V = 21.98 V .

When the material left behind has been carried by the glacier from its original location to a new location, this is called what
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.
