Answer:

130 dB

Explanation:

The equation for decibel level is given by:

D=10log(\frac{I}{I_n} )\\\\Where\ D\ is\ the \ decibel\ level\ in\ dB, I\ is\ the\ intensity\ in \ W/m^2, \\I_n\ is\ threshold\ intensity\ to\ the\ human\ ear=1*10^{-12}W/m^2\\\\Given\ that\ D=125dB, hence:\\\\125=10log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12.5=log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\I=3.2\ W/m^2

The intensity for 1 jack hammer is 3.2 W/m², therefore for 3 jack hammers, the intensity = 3 * 3.2 = 9.6 W/m²

D=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_n} )\\\\D=10*log(\frac{9.6}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\D=130\ dB

A diode vacuum tube consists of a cathode and an anode spaced 5-mm apart. If 300 V are applied across the plates. What is the ve
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is electric field between the plates whose value is given by the following expression

electric field E =  V /d where V is potential between the plates and d is distance between them

E = 300 / 5 x 10⁻³

=  60 x 10³ N/c

Force on electron = q E where q is charge on the electron

F = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ X 60 X 10³ = 96 X 10⁻¹⁶ N.

Acceleration a = force / mass

a = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶/ mass  = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

= 10.55 x 10¹⁵ m / s²

For midway , distance travelled

s =  2.5 x 10⁻³ m

s      =  1\2 a t²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a\\ } }

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}

t = .474 x 10⁻¹⁸ s

For striking the plate time is calculated as follows

t = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}[/tex]

t = 0.67 x 10⁻¹⁸ s

Compare 2,500 centimeters to 25 decimeters. How do each of these values compare to a meter, and which represents a longer length
Rom4ik [11]
2500 centimeters is 25 meters. 25 decimeters is 2.5 meters. 2500 centimeters is 10 times longer than 25 decimeters.
