You wish to watch TV at exactly 85 dB and no louder to avoid long term damage to your hearing. You record the sound intensity le

vel to be 125 dB from a 1,200 W amplifier. The source is way too loud so you hit the remote and reduce the power to make the new sound intensity level be 107 dB.
1. What is the new power coming from the amplifier?
2. How far away are you from the amplifier now?
3. The sound is still too loud so you decide to cut amplifier power in half. How much farther/closer do you need to move to get down to 85 dB?

Answer:

1) the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W

2) The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m

3) u₁ = 69.24 m

Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther

Explanation:

Lets say that I am at a distance "u" from the TV,

Let I₁ be the corresponding intensity of the sound at my location when sound level is 125dB

SO

S(indB) = 10log (I₁/1₀)

we substitute

125 = 10(I₁/10⁻¹²)

12.5 = log (I₁/10⁻¹²)

10^12.5 = I₁/10^-12

I₁ = 10^12.5 × 10^-12

I₁ = 10^0.5 W/m²

Now I₂ will be intensity of sound when corresponding sound level is 107 dB

107 = 10log(I₂/10⁻²)

10.7 = log(I₂/10⁻¹²)

10^10.7 = I₂ / 10^-12

I₂ = 10^10.7  ×  10^-12

I₂ = 10^-1.3 W/m²

Now since we know that

I = P/4πu² ⇒ p = 4πu²I

THEN P₁ = 4πu²I₁ and P₂ =4πu²I₂

Therefore

P₁/P₂ = I₁/I₂

WE substitute

P₂ = P₁(I₂/I₁) = 1200 × ( 10^-1.3 / 10^0.5)

P₂ = 19.02 W

the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W

2)

P₁ = 4πu²I₁

u =√(p₁/4πI₁)

u = √(1200/4π × 10^0.5)

u = 5.50 m

The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m

3)

Let I₃ be the intensity corresponding to required sound level 85 dB

85 = 10log(I₃/10⁻¹²)

8.5 = log (I₃/10⁻¹²)

10^8.5 = I₃ / 10^-12

I₃ = 10^8.5  × 10^-12

I₃ = 10^-3.5 w/m²

Now, I ∝ 1/u²

so I₂/I₃ = u₁²/u²

u₁ = √(I₂/I₃) × u

u₁ = √(10^-1.3 / 10^-3.5) ×  5.50

u₁ = 69.24 m

Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther

A rock falls off a cliff. How fast will it be going after falling for 4.33 seconds?
bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we  can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.
