Although 0 dB is often referred to as the lower threshold of human hearing, it is important to realize that the human ear is not

equally sensitive to all frequencies of sound. In other words, a particular noise may sound louder or softer depending on the frequency of the sound wave being transmitted. Because of this variation, scientists have defined a unit of loudness, called a phon, to represent the intensity of sound waves with a frequency of 1000 Hz. A 60-phon sound is one that is perceived by the human ear to have the same loudness as a sound wave with an intensity of 60 dB and a frequency of 1000 Hz.
Required:
a. At approximately what frequency do most people perceive the least intense sounds? Answer numerically in hertz to two significant figures.
b. Normal conversation has a sound level of about 60 dB. How many times more intense must a 100-Hz sound be compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness?

Answer:

20 Hz

15.8 times

Explanation:

A

Although the range of frequency for any human's ear is usually said to be between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. And since the question asked for the least intense frequency, that has to be 20 Hz. Essentially the frequency most people perceive the least intense sound is 20 Hz.

B

A 100-Hz sound must be 10^1.2 times or 15.8 times more intense compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness

Consider an embedded system which uses a battery with a 17.15-Amp-Hour capacity. What is the maximum average current draw (in mi
Marianna [84]

Answer:

<em>85.12 μAmp</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The battery power output = 17.15 Amp-hr

If the battery is to last 23 years, we have to calculate how many hours there are in 23 years

in one year there are 24 hours x 365 day = 8760 hrs

in 23 years there are 23 x 8760 = 201480 hours

maximum current to be drawn from the battery = (17.15 Amp-hr) ÷ (201480 hours) = 85.12 x 10^-6 Amp = <em>85.12 μA</em>

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 12t + 6 for t ≥ 0
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) v(t) = 6t^2 - 6t - 12, a(t) = 12t - 6

(b) When 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.

Explanation:

(a) To get the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.

v(t) = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}  = (2t^{3})^{'} - (3t^{2})^{'} - (12t)^{'} + 6^{'} = 6t^{2} - 6t - 12

To get the acceleration function, we need to take the derivative of the velocity function.

a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = (6t^{2})^{'} - (6t)^{'} - (12)^{'} = 12t - 6

(b) The object is slowing down when velocity is decreasing by time (decelerating) hence a < 0

12t - 6 < 0 \\12t < 6 \\t < 0.5

On the other hand, object is speeding up when a > 0

12t - 6 > 0 \\12t > 6 \\t > 0.5

Therefore, when 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0 degrees. What is
zvonat [6]
Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object. 
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object 
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
         = 957.55 J
round it off
         = 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B
