Answer:

The intensity of sound at rock concert is  10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is given by;

I(dB) = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_o} )

where;

I is the intensity of the sound

I₀ is the threshold of sound intensity = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

The intensity of sound at a rock concert

120 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^0\\\\I =1 \ W/m^2

The intensity of sound of a whisper

20 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\2 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-10}\\\\I =10^{-10} \ W/m^2

Thus, the intensity of sound at rock concert is  10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.

A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.

Replacing an object attached to a spring with an object having 14 the original mass will change the frequency of oscillation of
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

<em>The frequency changes by a factor of  0.27.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The frequency of an object with mass m attached to a spring is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

where f is the frequency

k is the spring constant of the spring

m is the mass of the substance on the spring.

If the mass of the system is increased by 14 means the new frequency becomes

f_{n} = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{14m} }

simplifying, we have

f_{n} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{14} } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

f_{n} = \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

if we divide this final frequency by the original frequency, we'll have

==> \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  ÷  \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

==> \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  x  2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

==> 1/3.742 = <em>0.27</em>
