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

Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

Take 68.2/60 = 1.137 hr
take 56.9/1.137 = 50.043 mi/hr

take 189/211 = 0.896

24.8/2 = 12.4 m
12.4/82.3 = 0.15s

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V
