What is the intensity of 60dB sound?​

Physics

polet [3.4K]3 years ago

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.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}.

Kinetic energy of system at first: \frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}. After: \frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is  t_A  = 19.0 \ s

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

  The speed of car A is  v_A  =  22 \ m/s

   The speed of car B is  v_B  = 29.0 \ m/s

     The distance of car B  from A is  d = 300 \ m

     The acceleration of car A is  a_A  = 2.40 \ m/s^2

For A to overtake B

    The distance traveled by car B  =  The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is  

          d = v_B * t_A

Where t_B is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

      d = v_A t_A  + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300

Now substituting values

       d = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

Equating the both d

       v_B * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

substituting values

   29 * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

   7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

  7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300

   1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300  = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

     t_A  = 19.0 \ s
