Answer:

d_2=19.8m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved easily, because the relationship between intensities I_1 and I_2 at distances d_1 and d_2 respectively can be written as:

\frac{I_2}{I_1} =\frac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}

Where:

I_1=Intensity\hspace{3}1\\I_2=Intensity\hspace{3}2\\d_1=Distance\hspace{3}1\\d_2=Distance\hspace{3}2

In this case:

I_1=80dB\\I_2=40dB\\d_1=14m\\d_2=?

Solving for d_2

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{d_1^2 *I_1}{I_2} } =\sqrt{\frac{14^2*80}{40} } =\sqrt{392} =19.79898987m\approx19.8m

Answer:

1400m

Explanation:

For spherical waves we can use the following relationship between distance and intensity:

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}^2}{r_{1}^2}

Where I_{1} and I_{2} are the first and second intensity, in W/m^2. And r_{1} is the first distance:  r_{1}=14m , and r_{2} the distace we want to find.

Clearing the previous equation or r_{2}

r_{2}^2=\frac{I_{1}r_{1}^2}{I_{2}} \\r_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}r_{1}^2}{I_{2}}} \\r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}.

This is what we will be using to find the answer, but fist we must convert the quantities 80dB and 40dB to W/m^2

We will call the quantities in dB \beta_{1} and \beta _{2}:

\beta_{1}=80dB

\beta_{2}=40dB

We will use the following to find the corresponding intensities I_{1} and I_{2}:

\beta_{1}=10log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

\beta_{2}=10log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

for both of these: I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2, and it is the minimum intensity that a human being perceives.

Thus, for \beta_{1}=80dB we have:

80dB=10log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

8dB=log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

And to eliminate the logarithm, we use its inverse operation, exponentiation.

10^8=10^{log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}} }

10^8=\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}

I_{0}(10^8)=I_{1}

replacing I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2:

10^{-12}W/m^2(10^8)=I_{1}

1x10^{-4}W/m^2=I_{1}

and similarly for I_{2}

40dB=10log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

4dB=log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

10^4=10^{log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}} }

10^4=\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}

I_{0}(10^4)=I_{2}

replacing I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2:

10^{-12}W/m^2(10^4)=I_{2}

1x10^{-8}W/m^2=I_{2}

Now we substitute in the equation we had found for r_{2}

r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}\\r_{2}=(14m)\sqrt{\frac{1x10^{-4}W/m^2}{1x10^{-8}W/m^2}}\\r_{2}=(14m)\sqrt{10000}\\ r_{2}=(14m)(100)\\r_{2}=1400m

Kate's recollection of these different events along her life best exemplifies the use of her episodic memory.

<h3>What is episodic memory?</h3>

The term episodic memory makes reference to conscious personal background experiences that were collected along life.

Episodic memory is also defined as the collection of all life-day experiences collected by a person.

The episodic memory may be, for example, the first day when a person drove his/her car or a bike.

Sound waves are mechanical waves. Which statement is true for this type of wave?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium in order to transport their energy. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. ... Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum.

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 8.00cm on each side and 4.20mm apart. The space between the plates is comp
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J

Explanation:

Given that

a= 8 cm (square)

A= a ² = 64 cm²

d= 4.2 mm

d₁= 2.1 mm  ,K₁= 4.7

d₂=2.1 mm  , K₂=2.6

We know that capacitance given as

C_1=\dfrac{K_1\varepsilon _oA}{d_1}

C_1=\dfrac{4.7\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_1=1.26\times 10^{-10}\ F

C_2=\dfrac{K_2\varepsilon _oA}{d_2}

C_2=\dfrac{2.6\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_2=0.701\times 10^{-10}\ F

Net capacitance

C=\dfrac{C_1C_2}{C_1+C_2}

C=\dfrac{1.26\times 10^{-10}\times 0.701\times 10^{-10}}{1.26\times 10^{-10}+0.701\times 10^{-10}}\ F

C=4.5\times 10^{-11}\ F

We know that stored energy given as

U=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

V= 76 V

U=\dfrac{4.5\times 10^{-11}\times 76^2}{2}\ J

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J
