The answer is definitely A
Answer:
a. d₁/d₂ = 1.09 b. 0.054 mW
Explanation:
a. What is the ratio of the diameter of the first student's eardrum to that of the second student?
We know since the power is the same for both students, intensity I ∝ I/A where A = surface area of ear drum. If we assume it to be circular, A = πd²/4 where r = radius. So, A ∝ d²
So, I ∝ I/d²
I₁/I₂ = d₂²/d₁² where I₁ = intensity at eardrum of first student, d₁ = diameter of first student's eardrum, I₂ = intensity at eardrum of second student, d₂ = diameter of second student's eardrum.
Given that I₂ = 1.18I₁
I₂/I₁ = 1.18
Since I₁/I₂ = d₂²/d₁²
√(I₁/I₂) = d₂/d₁
d₁/d₂ = √(I₂/I₁)
d₁/d₂ = √1.18
d₁/d₂ = 1.09
So, the ratio of the diameter of the first student's eardrum to that of the second student is 1.09
b. If the diameter of the second student's eardrum is 1.01 cm. how much acoustic power, in microwatts, is striking each of his (and the other student's) eardrums?
We know intensity, I = P/A where P = acoustic power and A = area = πd²/4
Now, P = IA
= I₂A₂
= I₂πd₂²/4
= 1.18I₁πd₂²/4
Given that I₁ = 0.58 W/m² and d₂ = 1.01 cm = 1.01 × 10⁻² m
So, P = 1.18I₁πd₂²/4
= 1.18 × 0.58 W/m² × π × (1.01 × 10⁻² m)²/4
= 0.691244π × 10⁻⁴ W/4 =
2.172 × 10⁻⁴ W/4
= 0.543 × 10⁻⁴ W
= 0.0543 × 10⁻³ W
= 0.0543 mW
≅ 0.054 mW
They’re both describing factors of something
Average speed =
(distance covered during some period of time)
divided by
(length of time to cover that distance).
Average acceleration is defined as
here
now for x direction we can say
Similarly for Y direction
so above is the acceleration in x and y directions
