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

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100
balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.  

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.  

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s  =  (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

A hayride wagon is going down a spooky country road at 15 m/s when a Scarecrow appears in the roadway. The man at the wheel of t
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

d = 68.18 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

Finally it comes to stop, v = 0

Acceleration, a = -1.65 m/s²

Time, t = 2.5 s

We need to find the distance covered by the hayride before coming to a stop. Let d is the distance covered. Using third equation of motion to find it :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(15)^2}{2\times -1.65}\\\\d=68.18\ m

So, the hayride will cover a distance of 68.18 m.
