Device based on atmospheric pressure​

Physics

Svetach [21]3 years ago

A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, also called barometric pressure. The atmosphere is the layers of air wrapped around the Earth. That air has a weight and presses against everything it touches as gravity pulls it to Earth. Barometers measure this pressure.

A sound wave from a siren has an intensity of 111.2 W/m2 at a certain point, and a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance has
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 153.5 dB.

Explanation:

The intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance can be calculated using the following equation:

\beta = 10log(\frac{I}{I_{0}})

<u>Where</u>:

I: is the intensity of the sound wave from a siren = 111.2 W/m²      

I₀: is the reference intensity = 1.0x10⁻¹² W/m²

\beta = 10log(\frac{111.2 W/m^{2}}{1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}) = 140.5 dB

Now, since the second sound wave from a nearby ambulance has an intensity level 13 dB we have:

I_{a} = 13 dB + 140.5 dB = 153.5 dB

Therefore, the intensity level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 153.5 dB.

I hope it helps you!

A swimmer is capable of swimming at 1.4m/s in still water. a. How far downstream will he land if he swims directly across a 180m
ozzi

Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river

An unfortunate 18 kg monkey falls from a 40 m tall tree. What is the monkeys final velocity just befor he impacts the ground.? a
zalisa [80]
The correct answer is c) 28 m/s.
Let's find the step-by-step solution. The motion of the monkey is an uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration equal to g=9.81 m/s^2. The initial velocity of the monkey is zero, while the distance covered is S=40 m. Therefore, we can use the following relationship to find vf, the final velocity of the monkey:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2=v_f^2
from which
v_f= \sqrt{2aS}= \sqrt{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2 \cdot 40 m}=28 m/s

When analyzing a position time graph the direction of the slope positive or negative tells us:
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Positive values for position indicate that the object is in front of the starting point and negative values tell us that the object is behind the starting point. (time = 9.5, position = 0) the object is at the starting point.
