Find the intensity of a 55 dB sound given lo-10-12 wm2

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Intensity=I=3.16\times 10^{-7}\ W\ m^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

\beta=55\ dB\\I_o=10^{-12}\ W\ m^{-2}

The sound level \beta in dB with intensity I

and reference intensity I_0 is given by:

\beta(dB)=10 \log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})

Plugging in values.

55=10 \log_{10}(\frac{I}{10^{-12}})

Dividing both sides by 10.

\frac{55}{10}=\frac{10 \log_{10}(\frac{I}{10^{-12}})}{10}

5.5=\log_{10}\frac{I}{10^{-12}}

The above can be written as

10^{5.5}=\frac{I}{10^{-12}}

Multiplying both sides by 10^{-12}

10^{5.5}\times 10^{-12}=10^{-12}\times \frac{I}{10^{-12}}

10^{(5.5-12)}=I

10^{(-7.5)}=I

∴ I=3.16\times 10^{-7}\ W\ m^{-2}

Intensity =I=3.16\times 10^{-7}\ W\ m^{-2}

A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
jarptica [38.1K]

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

             Speed  =  (original speed) + (gravity  x  falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

                         =       (0)            + (9.8 m/s²  x  3 sec)

                       Velocity  =  29.4 m/s downward .

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

How does the ocean influence climate?
Mazyrski [523]
<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>

Bose-Einstein Condensate can be defined by Group of answer choices slowly vibrating molecules all possibilities listed are corre
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Absolute zero

Explanation:

A Bose-Einstein condensate is known as the fifth state of matter which is made of a collection of ultra cooled atoms (at almost absolute zero degrees -273.15 °C) such that the there is very slight free energy within the atoms which results in almost no relative motion between the atoms. The atoms then combine forming clumps such that phenomena usually observed at the microscopic level such as wavefunction interference become observable at the microscopic level.
