The speed of sound at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) is 343 m/s. If the speed of sound in air increases about 0.60 m/s fo
stepan [7]

Answer:

36,67 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The simplest way to approach this problem, given the information provided, is to simply start with the speed difference.

Goal: 353 m/s

Start: 343 m/s (at 20 degrees Celsius).

Difference: 10 m/s

Variation rate: 0.60 m/s/d (d = degree)

d = \frac{10 m/s}{0.60 m/s/d}  = 16,67 d

So, 16,67 degrees more than the starting point.

The temperature will then be 36.67 degrees Celsius, when the sound travels at the speed of 353 m/s.

If a sound increases 5 dB, the sound becomes _______ times louder.
viva [34]
Well, I'll try to write the formula in a way that's not confusing,
but I'm afraid it might be slightly confusing anyway.

When you're working with dB, the basic rule is

       A change of 10 dB means either multiplying or dividing by 10 .

     Multiply something by 10  ==>  it increases by 10 dB.
     Divide something by 10   ==>  it decreases by 10 dB.

It turns out that another way to write all of this is . . .

     An increase of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10¹ 
     An increase of 20 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10²
     An increase of, say, 7 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁰·⁷

     A decrease of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹
     A decrease of 30 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻³
     A decrease of, say, 13 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹·³

This question says:  The sound increases by  5 dB .

That means the original 'intensity' or 'power' of the sound
is multiplied by
                           10⁰·⁵  =  √10  =  about 3.162 (rounded) . 

From the choices listed, the closest one is  (c).
