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

A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s  b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

a)

  • Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
  • This work, is just 4,475 J.
  • So we can write the following equation:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J

  • where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
  • So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

        v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} }  = 1.89 m/s

b)

  • The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

        W = F*d

  • We can solve for F, as follows:

        F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} =  172.1 N

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

NO_{1.499}

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol

n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}

n^{*}= 1.499

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

NO_{1.499}

what is the force of friction between an 80kg box and the ground on Earth if the coefficient is 0.2?​
Reil [10]

Answer:

160N

Explanation: When 80kg mass is one group . It's reaction force acting on a ground.

Weight of the object = 80*10

= 800 N

Here we are given cofficient of static friction its 0.2. It should be smaller than 1

Friction force = Reaction * Friction Cofficient

Reaction = 800N ( Considering Vertical Equilibrium )

F = 800* 0.2

F = 160N
