Answer:

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The definition of the intensity in terms of power is given by:

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where:

  • P is the power
  • A is the area

If the sound emits uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections, we can assume the geometry of the wave sound is spherical.

Let's recall the area of a sphere is A = 4\pi R^{2}

To the first location we have:

I_{1}=3*10^{-4} W/m^{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}

and to the second location we have:

I_{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}

Now, we can divide each intensity to find the second intensity.

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}}{\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}}

I_{2}=I_{1}* \frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=3*10^{-4}\frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

I = 2.4*10⁻⁵ W

Explanation:

  • By definition the intensity of a sound source, is the power emitted from the source divided by the area of the surface covered by the sound waves.
  • Assuming that the source is a point source, so it emits sound uniformly in all directions, and there are no reflections, this area  is just the area of a sphere centered in the point source and with radius equal to the distance between the source and the point where the intensity is measured, as follows:

       I = \frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2}}  (1)

  • If I and r are givens of the problem, we can solve (1) for P, as follows:

       P = I*4*\pi *r^{2} = 3.0e-4*4*\pi * (22m)^{2} = 1.83 W  (2)

  • Since the power is the same at any distance from the source, we can obtain the new value of I, replacing in (1) the value of P and the new value of r, as follows:

       I = \frac{P}{4*\pi *r^{2}} = \frac{1.83W}{4*\pi *(78m)^{2}} =2.4e-5 W/m2 (3)

Answer:

f_{fr}=1590.85 N

Explanation:

Here the total force at the horizontal components will be equal to the centripetal force on the car. So we will have:

f_{fr}cos(25)+Nsin(25)=m\frac{v^{2}}{r} (1)

  • f(fr) is the friction force
  • N is the normal force

Now, the sum of forces at the vertical direction is equal to 0.

Ncos(25)-mg-f_{fr}sin(25)=0 (2)          

Let's combine (1) and (2) to find f(fr)

f_{fr}=\frac{(mv^{2}/r)-mgtan(25)}{cos(25)+tan(25)sin(25)}

f_{fr}=\frac{(600*30^{2}/120)-600*9.81*tan(25)}{cos(25)+tan(25)sin(25)}  

f_{fr}=1590.85 N

I hope it helps you!

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tension of 132N

Explanation:

We need to apply Summatory of Force to find the tension in the hand.

We define te tensión in the hand as F_2 and the Tension in fence post as F_1, then

\sum F = 24(9.8)

F_1 + F_2= 24(9.8)

We apply summatory of moments then

F_2*1.25 = F_1*1.6

Where the Force 2 is 1.25m from the center of summatory,

We can note that,

1.6 m - 0.35m=1.25m

We have two equation and two incognites, then replacing (1) in (2)

1.6(235.2 -F_2) = 1.25F_2

376.32 = F2(1.6+1.25)

F_2= \frac{376.32}{2.85}

F_2 =132 N
