A 60 year old person has a threshold of hearing of 95.0 dB for a sound with frequency f=10,000 Hz. By what factor must the inten

sity of a sound wave of that frequency, audible to a typical young adult, (sound level=43.0 dB) be increased so that it is heard by the older person.
If you know the sound level in dB, then you can compute the sound intensity and take the ratio.


Helpful Hint*
In the problem, they gave the intensity as decibels but want to know by what factor to increase the intensity (I) for the young person to get a sound that the older person can hear.

Ignore f completely.

Decibels (dB) need to be converted to I using this equation:
I=(10^(dB/10))*10^-12
Do this for each dB and divide the older person's dB by the younger's.

Answer:

The intensity increased by a factor of 158489

Explanation:

Given that,

Sound level = 95.0 dB

Sound level = 43.0 dB

Frequency = 10000 Hz

We need to calculate the ratio of sound intensity

Using formula of sound level

sound\ level =10 log\dfrac{I}{I_{0}}

Put the value into the formula

95.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}...(I)

43.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}.....(II)

Subtracting these equations

52.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}

\log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=5.2

Taking inverse log

\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=10^{5.2}

\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=158489

Hence, The intensity increased by a factor of 158489

Colors seen on the cover of our physics book result from color is due to Subtraction.

What is physics of color subtraction?

  • Some visible spectrum wavelengths are intentionally removed during the subtraction procedure.
  • For instance, the yellow filter transmits the green and red colors while blocking the blue.
  • Red and blue are transmitted while the green is blocked by the magenta filter.
  • Blue and green are transmitted while red is blocked by the cyan filter.
  • Subtractive mixing gets its name from the fact that when colors are mixed, wavelengths are removed from what we see because each paint absorbs some of the wavelengths that the other paint reflects, leaving us with less wavelengths afterward.

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 12mv2.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A)d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2

B)\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

Given that

Force  = F

Increase in Kinetic energy = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

\Delta KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

we know that

Work done by all the forces =change in the kinetic energy

a)

Lets distance = d

We know work done by force F

W= F .d

F.d=ΔKE

F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2

b)

If the force become twice

F' = 2 F

F'.d=ΔKE'

2 F .d = ΔKE'                          ( F.d =Δ KE)

2ΔKE = ΔKE'

\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Therefore the final kinetic energy will become the twice if the force become twice.
