You have your headphones turned all the way up (100 dB).

Physics

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

Pertaining to simple machines and levers what changes when the fulcrum position is modified?
Inessa [10]

Explanation :

There are many types of simple machines i.e. lever, wedge, pulley, wheel and axle etc.

Fulcrum is the pivot point about which the lever turns. When the position of the fulcrum is shifted, the position of effort changes.

There are three classes of the lever as class 1, class 2 and class 3.

Class 1 includes seesaws and scissors.

class 2 includes wheelbarrow

class 3 includes tongs and tweezers.

PLEASE HELP MEEE!! I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLIEST AND EVERYTHING!! THIS IS DUE TODAY AND MY GRADES ARE AT STAKE!:(
irina [24]

Answer:

They will be 140 miles apart 8 hours after the first boy started the trip or 6 hours after the second boy started the trip.

Explanation:

x = the time that the first boy travels at 14 mph

x - 2 = the time the second boy travels at 14 mph

140 the distance between them

Since one travels north and the other east (their roads are perpendicular) the distance between them can be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem

(14*x)^2 + ((x-2)*14)^2 = 140^2

the solutions of the quadratic equation are

x1 = - 6 is not the solution since x > 0

x2 = 8 h is the solution

How is kinetic energy related to the distance
astra-53 [7]

Kinetic energy =

1/2 (mass) • (velocity squared).

I don't see distance in that formula anywhere, so they're not related.

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i
fomenos

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

Log_{10}(10) = 1

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

log_{10}(1,000,000)

We can express this also as,

log_{10}(10^6)

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

6*log_{10}(10)

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

6*1=6

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6
