The intensity of the sound from a certain source is measured at two points along a line from the source. The points are separate

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The source is at a distance of 4.56 m from the first point.

Solution:

As per the question:

Separation distance between the points, d = 11.0 m

Sound level at the first point, L = 66.40 dB

Sound level at the second point, L'= 55.74 dB

Now,

$L = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{o}}$

$I = I_{o}10^{\frac{L}{10}} = I_{o}10^{0.1L} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 66.40} = 10^{- 5.36}$

$L' = 10log_{10}\frac{I'}{I_{o}}$

$I' = I_{o}10^{\frac{L'}{10}} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 55.74} = 10^{- 6.426}$

where

$I_{o} = 10^{- 12} W/m^{2}$

I = Intensity of sound

Now,

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi R^{2}}$

Similarly,

$I' = \frac{P}{4\pi (R + 11.0)^{2}}$

Now,

$\frac{I}{I'} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}$

$\frac{10^{- 5.36}}{10^{- 6.426}} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}$

$R ^{2} + 22R + 121 = 11.64R^{2}}$

$10.64R ^{2} - 22R - 121 = 0$

Solving the above quadratic eqn, we get:

R = 4.56 m

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is

andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

$Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\$

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater = 300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

$(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\$

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>

What a medium-mass star becomes at the end of its life?

Reika [66]

Answer:

What a medium-mass star becomes after a planetary nebula; a very bright, dense mass about the size of the planet Earth. ... The process that generates all of the energy that a star produces. Supernova. A Red Super Giant explodes into this when it runs out of elements to fuse together.
