The Threshold of Hearing and the Decibel Scale

The faintest sound that the typical human ear can detect has an intensity of 1*10-12 W/m2.

4 0

the difference of 10 dB is considered as having 10 times the intensity, so difference of 40 dB means :

=》10 × 10 × 10 × 10

=》10000 times

so the the intensity of one sound is 10000 times the other one.

How much power is used by car when it applies 40,000 J of work over a 5.6 second interval
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

7142.86W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done by brake  = 40000J

Time taken = 5.6s

Unknown:

Power used by car  = ?

Solution:

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is done. It is mathematically expressed as;

        Power = \frac{work done }{time taken}

Now input the variables;

           Power  = \frac{40000}{5.6}   = 7142.86W

A concave (convergent) mirror has a focus of 3.4 cm. A tree that is 0.5cm tall is situated 4.5 cm away from the mirror. Calculat
Elanso [62]

The image position is 13.9 cm from the mirror

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this problem, we have:

f = 3.4 cm is the focal length of the mirror (positive for a concave mirror)

p = 4.5 cm is the position of the object (the tree)

Solving the equation for q, we find the position of the image:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{3.4}-\frac{1}{4.5}=0.0719 cm^{-1}\\q=\frac{1}{0.0719}=13.9 cm

4. An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. Compare the direction of the object’s velocity and acceleration vecto
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Option C

The vectors are perpendicular

Explanation:

Acceleration will be directed towards the center for uniform circular motion. Consequently, velocity of the object increases hence acceleration. The direction of velocity is tangent to its circular motion, therefore, tangential velocity vector is perpendicular to centripetal acceleration vector. Therefore, comparing the direction of the object, the vectors are perpendicular to each other.
