To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity. This can be defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. Mathematically it can be written as,

$\Delta L = 10log(n)$

$\Delta L$ = Level Difference

n = Number of equal loud sound sources

n = 15

Therefore replacing we have,

$\Delta L = 10 log (n)\\\Delta L = 10 log (15)\\\Delta L = 10*1.176\\\Delta L = 11.76dB$

Therefore over 100dB the total difference intensity level would be

$L_T = L_0 -\Delta L$

Here,

$L_0 = \text{ Total intensity}$

$\L_T = 100 -11.76$

$_T= 88.24dB$

The intensity level generated by one engine is

$L_T = 88.44dB$

A tennis ball is tossed up off a building with a velocity of 22m/s. It takes 6.4s to reach the ground. How high is the building

Amanda [17]

The height of the tennis ball,relative to the ground is H=h max+h-->h max-the maximum height that the tennis ball reaches relative to the roof of the building; h-the height of the building;h max =v0^2/2g=24,2m(g=10m/s^2).H=gt^2/2=>24,2+h=gt^2/2=>h=gt^2/2-24,2=180,6m

Initially a car accelerates at 2 m/s2 for x seconds. The car then travels at a velocity of -6 m/s for x seconds. If the car disp

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

$a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}$

$t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s$

Check

$t_{2}=8s$

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}$

$x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}$

$x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16$

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. The exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, and conservation of linear momentum, and also conservation of angular momentum, aswell as the conservation of electric charge

using hooke's law, f spring = k triangle x, find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when a 4 newton force is a

Ksivusya [100]

As we know that spring force is given as

$F = kx$

here we know that

F = 4 N

x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

now from the above equation we will have

$4 = k(0.02)$

$k = 200 N/m$

so the elastic constant of the spring will be 200 N/m

A photon with an energy E = 2.12 GeV creates a proton-antiproton pair in which the proton has a kinetic energy of 96.0 MeV. What

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the anti proton is 147.4 MeV.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 2.12 GeV

Kinetic energy = 96.0 MeV

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the anti proton

Using formula of energy

$E_{photon}=m_{p}c^2+m_{np}c^2+K.E_{p}+K.E_{np}$

We know that,

$m_{p}c^2=m_{np}c^2$

So, $E_{photon}=2mc^2+K.E_{p}+K.E_{np}$

$K.E_{np}=E_{photon}-(2mc^2+K.E_{p})$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{np}=2.12\times10^{9}-2\times938.3\times10^{6}-96\times10^{6}$

$K.E_{np}=147.4\ MeV$

Hence, The kinetic energy of the anti proton is 147.4 MeV.
