Suppose that the sound level of a conversation is initially at an angry 71 dB and then drops to a soothing 54 dB. Assuming that

the frequency of the sound is 504 Hz, determine the (a) initial and (b) final sound intensities and the (c) initial and (d) final sound wave amplitudes. Assume the speed of sound is 346 m/s and the air density is 1.21 kg/m3.

Answer:

Explanation:

In the decibel scale , intensity of sound changes logarithmically as follows

10log\frac{I}{I_0} = Value in decibel scale , the value of I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /m².

Putting the values

10log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 71

log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 7.1

\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 10^{7.1}

I= 10^{-4.9} W/m²

Similarly for 54 dB sound intensity can be given as follows

I = 10⁻¹² x 10^{5.4}

I= 10^{-6.6 } W / m²

For intensity of sound the relation is as follows

I = 2π²υ²A²ρc where υ is frequency , A is amplitude , ρ is density of air and c is velocity of sound .

Putting the given values for 71 dB

I= 10^{-4.9}  = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 60.03 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 7.74 x 10⁻⁸ m

For 54 dB sound

10^{-6.6} = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 1.1978 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 1.1 x 10⁻⁸ m

Your answer should be precise to 0.1 m/s. Use a gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s/s. At it lowest point, a pendulum is moving
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed, v₁ = 7.7 m/s

We need to find the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point. Let it is given by v₂. Using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2+mgh

v_2^2=v_1^2-2gh

v_2^2=(7.7)^2-2\times 10\times 1

v_2=6.26\ m/s

So, the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result
mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

   s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

The drawing shows a loudspeaker A and point C, where a listeer is positioned. A second loudspeaker B is located somewhere to the
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 4.17m

Explanation:

The observer at C will hear a sound on no sound upon whether the interference is constructive or destructive.

If the listeners hears sounds it is caled constructive interference but if he hears no sound its called destructive interference.

So

d2 - d1 = (n *lamba)/ 2

Where n=1,3,5

lamda=v/f =349/62.8

lamda=5.56m

d2= d1 + nlamda/2

d2= 1 + 5.56/2

d2= 3.78m

X'= 1 cos 60= 0.5m

Y= 1 sin60= 0.866m

X"^2 + Y^2 =d2^2

X" =√(y^2 - d2^2)

X"=√(3.78^2 - 0.886^2)

X"= 3.67m

So therefore the closest that speaker A can be to speaker B so the listener does not hear any sound is X' + X"= 0.5 + 3.67

4.17m

Please help<br><br><br> ____________ is the type of energy due to motion.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
I believe the answer would be Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. We weren’t given answer choices so I don’t have much to work with lol.
