Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 33.0 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 0.600 cm2 area is 52.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 9.71\times10^{-4} W/m^{2}

Explanation

Sound intensity is given by the formula

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where I is the sound intensity, P is the power and A is the area.

Since the loudspeaker radiates sound in all directions, we have a spherical sound wave where the radius r is the distance of the microphone from the speaker.

∴ A is given by 4\pi r^{2} where r is the radius

From the question, P = 33.0W, r = 52.0m

I=\frac{P}{A} = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2} }

I = \frac{33.0}{4\pi \times (52.0)^{2} }

∴ I = 9.71\times10^{-4} W/m^{2}

Hence, the sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 9.71 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of sound transmission through various mediums?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is D.

Explanation:

Sound is longitudinal wave in which the vibration of particles travels parallel to the propagation of the motion of the wave. It requires a medium to travel. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Sound insulator prevents the sound to travel for example plastic, wood etc. Sound travels faster in solid medium than in liquid medium. Sound travels faster in liquid than in gas. Less elastic material absorbs sound for example paper in compare to inelastic material.

Therefore, the accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is "Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids.

A 65.0-Ω resistor is connected to the terminals of a battery whose emf is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is 0.5 Ω. Calcula
Luda [366]

Answer:

a) 0.1832 A

b) 11.91 Volts

c) 2.18 Watt , 0.0168 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

R = external resistor connected to the terminals of the battery = 65 Ω

E = Emf of the battery = 12.0 Volts

r = internal resistance of the battery = 0.5 Ω

i = current flowing in the circuit

Using ohm's law

E = i (R + r)

12 = i (65 + 0.5)

i = 0.1832 A

(b)

Terminal voltage is given as

V_{ab} = i R

V_{ab} = (0.1832) (65)

V_{ab} = 11.91 Volts

(c)

Power dissipated in the resister R is given as

P_{R} = i²R

P_{R} = (0.1832)²(65)

P_{R} = 2.18 Watt

Power dissipated in the internal resistance is given as

P_{r} = i²r

P_{r} = (0.1832)²(0.5)

P_{r} = 0.0168 Watt

In which city did the wright brothers take off on their very first flight
Nezavi [6.7K]
<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina </h2>

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.

Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.

It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the  aviation era.
