A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the sound level of all audible frequencies of sound by 28.1 dB. The hearin

g aid picks up sound having a frequency of 250 Hz at an intensity of 3.30 10-11 W/m2. What is the intensity delivered to the eardrum?

Answer:

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

Explanation:

given,

increase in sound level = 28.1 dB

frequency of the sound = 250 Hz

intensity = 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹ W/m²

Intensity delivered = ?

the difference of intensity level is give as

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) - 10log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o})

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_o}) -log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_o}))

\beta_2-\beta_1 = 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

28.1= 10(log(\dfrac{I_2}{I_1})

log\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=2.81

\dfrac{I_2}{I_1}=10^{2.81}

 I₂ = 645.65 I₁

 I₂ = 645.65 x 3.3 x 10⁻¹¹

 I₂ = 2.13 x 10⁻⁸ W/m²

You nose out another runner to win the 100.000m dash. If your total time for the race was 11.8 seconds and you aced out the othe
daser333 [38]
You completed 100.000 m in 11.800 second

you aced out the other runner by 0.001 seconds

time taken by other runner to finish = 11.800 + 0.001 = 11.801s

speed of other runner = 100/11.801 m/s

distance covered by him in 11.8 s = 100/11.801 × 11.8 = 99.992 m

you won by = 100 - 99.992 = 0.008 meter

A 2000 Hz siren and a civil defense official are both at rest with respect to the ground. What frequency does the official hear
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a)f_1 = 2070.6 Hz

b)f_2 = 1929.4 Hz

Explanation:

Apparent frequency of the siren is given as

f = \frac{v_{rel}}{\lambda}

as we know that the wavelength will remain the same as it is having originally

sowe know

\lambda = \frac{340}{2000}

\lambda = 0.17 m

a) Now when wind is blowing from source to official

so we have

v_{rel} = 340 + 12 = 352 m/s

so we have

f_1 = \frac{352}{0.17}

f_1 = 2070.6 Hz

b) Now when wind is from official to source

so we have

v_{rel} = 340 - 12 = 328 m/s

so we have

f_2 = \frac{328}{0.17}

f_2 = 1929.4 Hz

Write a paragraph that explains how a droplet of water that falls as rain can move through the atmosphere, the biosphere, the ge
True [87]
The water cycle starts with evaporation. It is a process where water at the surface turns into water vapors. Water absorbs heat energy from the sun and turns into vapors. Water bodies like the oceans, the seas, the lakes, and the river bodies are the main source of evaporation. Through evaporation water  moves from hydrosphere to atmosphere.
