Answer:
r₂ = 0.316 m
Explanation:
The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location
β = 10 log
let's write this expression for our case
β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}
β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}
β₂ -β₁ = 10 (
)
β₂ - β₁ = 10
log \frac{I_2}{I_1} =
= 3
= 10³
I₂ = 10³ I₁
having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area
I = P / A
P = I A
the area is of a sphere
A = 4π r²
the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points
P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂
I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²
we substitute the ratio of intensities
I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²
r₁² = 10³ r₂²
r₂ = r₁ / √10³
we calculate
r₂ =
r₂ = 0.316 m
when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as
T=mv²/r
where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple
v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.
clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.
at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
Answer:
P = 2 pi R / v period of space station
F / m = v^2 / R centripetal force per unit of mass
So F / m = 4 pi^2 R^2 / (P^2 * R) = 4 pi^2 R / P^2
Also, F / m = 9.8 m/s^2 earth's gravitational attraction
So 9.8 = 4 pi^2 R / P^2 or R = 9.8 P^2 / 4 * pi^2) = 195 m
Or D = 2 R = 390 m the diameter required
