Answer:

28.11m far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

Explanation:

In the equation for the Decibel scale

  (1). \: \:\beta =10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

The ratio of the intensities can be written as

$ \frac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{\frac{P}{A} }{\frac{P}{A_0} } $

\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{A_0}{A}.

And since

A = 4\pi r^2

and

A_0 = 4 \pi r_0^2,

\dfrac{A_0}{A} = \dfrac{4 \pi r_0^2}{4 \pi r^2}  = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}

meaning

\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}.

Putting this into equation (1), we get:

\boxed{ (2).\: \: \beta = 10log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2})}

Now, if the intensity is 100 dB when the distance is 5 meters, we have:

100dB=10 log(\dfrac{r_02}{(5m)^2})

10= log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{25})

by taking both sides to the exponent:  

10^{10}= \dfrac{r_0^2}{25}

r^2 = 25 *10^{10}\\r = 5 *10^5

Now equation (2) becomes

\beta = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

when the intensity level is 85 dB we have

85 = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

8.5 = log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})

take both sides to exponents and we get:

10^{8.5} =10^{ log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})}

10^{8.5} =\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2}

r^2 = \dfrac{25*10^{10}}{10^{8.5}}

\boxed{r = 28.11m}

Thus, 28.11m far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi
MArishka [77]

Answer:

0.3814128 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 36 ms

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 60g

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow u=v-at\\\Rightarrow u=0-(-9.81\times 60)\times 36\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow u=21.1896\ m/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-21.1896^2}{2\times -9.81\times 60}\\\Rightarrow s=0.3814128\ m

The distance the person traveled is 0.3814128 m

A 39-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 39 cm

Compresses length = 29 cm

Mass = 2.2 kg

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

x=l-l'

Put the value into the formula

x=39-29=10\ cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

F=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Where, F = force

x = distance

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.2\times9.8}{10\times10^{-2}}

k=215.6\ N/m

Hence, The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

A red laser (740 nm) shines on a double slit (slit separation = 0.165 mm). What is the angle of the fourth order maximum (that i
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The angle of the fourth order maximum is 1.027 degrees.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser, \lambda=740\ nm=740\times 10^{-9}\ m

Slit separation, d=0.165\ mm= 0.000165\ m

We need to find the angle of the fourth order maximum. For maximum, the equation is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

sin\theta=\dfrac{n\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\dfrac{4\times 740\times 10^{-9}}{0.000165}

\theta=1.027^{\circ}

So, the angle of the fourth order maximum is 1.027 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
