What is the intensity of 60dB sound?​

Physics
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the sound level, dB = 60 dB

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is calculated as;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\

where;

I₀ is threshold of hearing = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

I is intensity of the sound in W/m²

Substitute the given values and for I;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\60 = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\6 =  Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\10^6 = \frac{I}{I_o} \\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ I_o\\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ 1^{-12} \ W/m^2 \\\\I = 1\ \times \ 10^{-6} \ W/m^2

Therefore, the intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

Which of the following is the best example of a primary circular reaction?
olga55 [171]

Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months): This substage involves coordinating sensation and new schemas. For example, a child may suck his or her thumb by accident and then later intentionally repeat the action. These actions are repeated because the infant finds them pleasurable.

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,
Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is 2.73\Omega

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where R_1, R_2, R_3 are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

R_1 = 5.0 \Omega

R_2 = 10.0 \Omega

R_3 = 15.0 \Omega

Substituting,

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}

So the equivalent resistance is

R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

V=120 V

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

R=2.73\Omega

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A

The compressor on an air conditioner draws 66.1 a when it starts up. the start-up time is about 0.388 s. how much charge passes
Ierofanga [76]
The current intensity is defined as the amount of charge flowing through a certain point of a wire divided by the time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we have
Q=I \Delta t

for the compressor in our problem, the intensity of current is I=66.1 A, while the time is \Delta t= 0.388 s, so the amount of charge that crosses a certain point of the circuit during this time is
Q=I \Delta t=(66.1 A)(0.388 s)=25.65 C
