Answer:

a. 90 dB

b. 80 dB

Explanation:

The given parameter of the sound is as follows;

The level to which the headphones are tuned = All the way up

The intensity of the sound of the headphones when tuned all the way up = 100 dB

a. The relationship between level change in loudness, ΔL, and the ratio of loudness, 'x', is presented as follows;

ΔL = 10·log₂(x) ≈ 33.22·log(x)

Therefore, for a sound to be half as loud, we have x = 1/2, therefore;

ΔL = 10·log₂(1/2) = 10·log₂(2⁻¹) = -10 ≈ 33.22·log(1/2)

The change in the intensity level for a sound half as loud, ΔL = -10 dB

Given that the sound was initially at 100 dB, the new level for a sound half as loud = 100 dB + ΔL = 100 dB - 10 dB = 90 dB

The decibel level the music must be set for a sound half as loud = 90 dB

b. In order for the sound to be 1/4 as loud, we have;

ΔL = 10·log₂(1/4) = 10·log₂(2⁻²) = -20

Therefore, the change in the level of the sound intensity level, ΔL by -20 dB will given a sound that is 1/4 as loud

The initial intensity level = 100 dB

The intensity level for a sound 1/4 as loud = 100 dB - 20 dB = 80 dB

A computational model predicts the maximum potential energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass and its speed at the lo
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the coaster car, m = 350 kg

speed of the coaster car at the lowest point, v = 25 m/s

The coaster car will have maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point and based on law of conservation of mechanical energy, the maximum kinetic energy of the coaster car at the lowest point will be equal to maximum potential energy at the highest point.

K.E_{max} = P.E_{max}

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} (350)(25)^2\\\\K.E_{max} =109,375 \ J

Thus, P.E_{max} = 109,375 \ J

Therefore, the prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz
