The acceleration rate would be .14667 m/s^2

What happens to speed when wavelength decreases

Phantasy [73]

Speed = wavelength × frequency

giving that frequency is 0, wavelength and speed are directionally proportional. wavelength decrease = speed decrease

Three noise sources produce volume (loudness) levels of 70, 73, and 80 dB when acting separately. When the sources act together,

Mashutka [201]

Sound at 70 dB is 70 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 73 dB is 73 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷.³ or 2 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Sound at 80 dB is 80 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁸ or 10 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.

Now we can adumup:

Intensity of all 3 sources = (10⁷) + (2 x 10⁷) + (10 x 10⁷)

Intensity = (13 x 10⁷) times the sound power reference intensity.

Intensity in dB = 10 log (13 x 10⁷) = 10 (7 + log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 log(13)

Intensity = 70 + 10 (1.114)

Intensity = 70 + 11.14

Intensity = 81.14 dB

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$
