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

a 230 kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 6.2 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is $m=230\ kg$

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of $u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s$

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of $45^{\circ}$

Height of the hill is $h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m$

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

$\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ$

A child goes down the slide,starting from rest. If the length of the slide is 2m and it takes the child 3 seconds to go down the

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$0.44 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

- distance covered by the child: d = 2 m (length of the slide)

- time taken to cover this distance: t = 3 s

- initial velocity of the child: 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

So we can find the acceleration by using the equation:

$d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where a is the acceleration.

Substituting the values and solving for a,

$a=\frac{2d}{t^2}=\frac{2(2)}{3^2}=0.44 m/s^2$

For a damped simple harmonic oscillator, the block has a mass of 1.2 kg and the spring constant is 9.8 N/m. The damping force is

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) t=24s

b) number of oscillations= 11

Explanation:

In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is

m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0

Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,

x(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}cos(w't+\phi)=A(t)cos(w't+\phi)$

where A(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$

A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and

$w'$ is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

Now coming to the problem,

Given: m=1.2 kg

k=9.8 N/m

b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s

A₀=13 cm

a) A(t)=A₀/8

⇒A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ =A₀/8

⇒ $e^{\frac{bt}{2m}}=8$

applying logarithm on both sides

⇒ $\frac{bt}{2m}=ln(8)$

⇒ $t=\frac{2m*ln(8)}{b}$

substituting the values

$t=\frac{2*1.2*ln(8)}{0.21}=24s(approx)$

b) $w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{1.2}-\frac{0.21^{2}}{4*1.2^{2}}}=2.86s^{-1}$

$T'=\frac{2\pi}{w'}$ , where $T'$ is time period of damped SHM

⇒ $T'=\frac{2\pi}{2.86}=2.2s$

let $n$ be number of oscillations made

then, $nT'=t$

⇒ $n=\frac{24}{2.2}=11(approx)$

Why is cheese only strechy when its hot not when its cold (i spelt stretchy wrong but i dont want to change it cuz that would ta

IgorC [24]

That is a really good question, cheese is stretchy when it is hot is because when you heat it up, it liquefies which makes it stretch. it doesn't stretch when it is cold because it is a solid and solids usually do not stretch.
