Answer:

the required distance is 89.125 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, sound intensity B in decibels of sound is;

β(dB) = 10log₁₀( I / I_0 )

where intensity I = power / area carried by wave

I_0 = 10⁻¹² W/m² { minimum threshold intensity }

Now,

intensity I = power / area carried by wave = P/A = P/4πr² { spherical  }

given that; β = 80.0 dB and P = 10 W

so

β(dB) = 10log₁₀( I / I_0 )

we substitute

80 = 10log₁₀( P / 4πr²× I_0)

80 = 10log₁₀( 10 / 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

8 = log₁₀(10) - log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )  

8 = 1 - log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

8 - 1 = -log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

7 = -log₁₀( 1.2566 × 10⁻¹¹ × r² )

7 = -[ log₁₀( 1.25 × 10⁻¹¹) + log₁₀( r² ) ]

7 = -[ -10.9 + log₁₀( r² ) ]

7 = 10.9 - log₁₀( r² )

-log₁₀( r² ) = 7 - 10.9

-log₁₀( r² )  = - 3.9

log₁₀( r² ) = 3.9

2log₁₀r = 3.9

log₁₀r  = 3.9 /2

log₁₀r = 1.95

r = 89.125 m

Therefore, the required distance is 89.125 m

True or false The momentum of a 100kg object traveling at 3 m/s is 300 N
melomori [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).

One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s
allsm [11]

Answer:

a) \omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}, b) \omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

\tau = F \cdot r

\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r

\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}

\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)

\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}

t = 66.667\,s

Since t > 66.667\,s, then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.
