The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where a
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3 times louder

Explanation:

The Loudness in decibel Db  L = 10㏒(I/I₀)  where I = sound intensity level and I₀ = threshold of hearing = 10⁻¹² W/m².

Now, for Jessica, I₁ = sound intensity level of Jessica's music = 10⁻⁹

and I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₁ = 10㏒(10⁻⁹/10⁻¹²)

L₁ = 10㏒(10³)

L₁ = 3 × 10㏒10

L₁ = 30㏒10

L₁ = 30 dB

Now, for Braylee, I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₂ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁻³/10⁻¹²)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁹)

L₂ = 9 × 10㏒10

L₂ =90㏒10

L₂ = 90 dB

So, the number of times Braylee's music is louder than Jessica's music is L₂/L₁ = 90 dB/30 dB = 3

So, Braylee's music is 3 times louder than Jessica's music

When a quantity of monatomic ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 4.00×104pa, the volume of the gas increases from 2.00×1
Semmy [17]
Yes that is correct. We know this because 4.00 x 10 4 Pa is constant. If you have 2.00×10−3m3 then you do the following: (2.00×10^−3)(4.00×10^<span> 4) = </span>8.00×10^−3. That is how you get your answer

. An object whose mass is 375 lb falls freely under the influence of gravity from an initial elevation of 253 ft above the surfa
lozanna [386]

Answer:

(a) Vf = 128 ft/s

(b) K.E = 122.8 Btu

Explanation:

(a)

In order to find the velocity of the object just before striking the surface of earth or the final velocity, we use 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = 32.2 ft/s²

h = height = 253 ft

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 10 ft/s

Therefore,

(2)(32.2 ft/s²)(253 ft) = Vf² - (10 ft/s)²

16293.2 ft²/s² + 100 ft²/s² = Vf²

Vf = √(16393.2 ft²/s²)

<u>Vf = 128 ft/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy of the object before it hits the surface of earth is given by:

K.E = (0.5)(m)(Vf)²

where,

m = mass of object = 375 lb

K.E = Kinetic energy of object before it strikes the surface of earth = ?

Therefore,

K.E = (0.5)(375 lb)(128 ft/s)²

K.E = 3073725 lb.ft²/s²

Now, converting this to Btu:

K.E = (3073725 lb.ft²/s²)(1 Btu/25037 lb.ft²/s²)

<u>K.E = 122.8 Btu</u>

. If she
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, m=40\ kg

Spring constant is, k=176,400\ N/m

Compression in the spring is, x=20\ cm=0.20\ m

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.
