The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as , where a

nd is the least intense sound a human ear can hear. Jessica is listening to soft music at a sound intensity level of 10-9 on her computer while she does her homework. Braylee is completing her homework while listening to very loud music at a sound intensity level of 10-3 on her headphones. How many times louder is Braylee’s music than Jessica’s? times louder 3 times louder 30 times louder 90 times louder

Answer:

3 times louder

Explanation:

The Loudness in decibel Db  L = 10㏒(I/I₀)  where I = sound intensity level and I₀ = threshold of hearing = 10⁻¹² W/m².

Now, for Jessica, I₁ = sound intensity level of Jessica's music = 10⁻⁹

and I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₁ = 10㏒(10⁻⁹/10⁻¹²)

L₁ = 10㏒(10³)

L₁ = 3 × 10㏒10

L₁ = 30㏒10

L₁ = 30 dB

Now, for Braylee, I₂ = sound intensity level of Braylee's music = 10⁻³

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

L₂ = 10㏒(I₁/I₀)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁻³/10⁻¹²)

L₂ = 10㏒(10⁹)

L₂ = 9 × 10㏒10

L₂ =90㏒10

L₂ = 90 dB

So, the number of times Braylee's music is louder than Jessica's music is L₂/L₁ = 90 dB/30 dB = 3

So, Braylee's music is 3 times louder than Jessica's music

The temperature and time t given in hours from 0 to 24 after midnight in downtown mathville is given by t=10-5 sin(pi/12 t) degr
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

T_A_v_g=9.918192559$^{\circ}C

Explanation:

The problem tell us that the temperature as function of time in downtown mathville is given by:

T(t)=10-5*sin(\frac{\pi}{12t})

The average temperature over a given interval can be calculated as:

T_a_v_g=\frac{T_o+T_f}{2}

Where:

T_o=Initial\hspace{3}temperature\\T_f=Final\hspace{3}temperature

So, the initial temperature in this case, would be the temperature at noon, and the final temperature would be the temperature at midnight:

Therefore:

T_o=T(12)=10-5*sin(\frac{\pi}{12*12}) =9.890925575$^{\circ}C

T_f=T(24)=10-5*sin(\frac{\pi}{12*24}) =9.945459543$^{\circ}C

Hence, the average temperature between noon and midnight is:

T_A_v_g=\frac{9.890925575+9.945459543}{2}=9.918192559$^{\circ}C

A box of paper is labeled 24lb paper. This means that 500 sheets (counted number) of paper size 17in x 22in weighs 24 pounds (Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The mass of a single paper  is approximately 0.047 lb/paper which in SI Units is approximately 21.77  g/paper

Explanation:

The given information on the size and the weight of paper are;

The mass of a box of 500 sheets of paper = 24 lb

The number of sheets in the paper = 500 sheets

The dimensions of the paper = 17 in. × 22 in., which is equivalent to  43.18 cm × 55.88 cm

The mass of a single paper = The mass of the box of paper/(The number of sheets of paper present in the box)

The mass of a single paper = 24 lb/500 = 0.047 lb/paper

Given that 1 lb = 453.6 g, we have;

0.047 lb/paper = 0.047 lb/paper×453.6 g/(lb) = 21.77  g/paper

The mass of a single paper  = 0.047 lb/paper = 21.77  g/paper.
