The low-frequency speaker of a stereo set produces 10.0 W of acoustical power. If the speaker projects sound uniformly in all di

rections, at what distance from the speaker is the intensity level 80.0 dB

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

A car drives past a pole at 40km/hr. Describe the motion from the point of view of a) the car, and b) the pole. Thanks in advanc
ki77a [65]
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.

To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction.  Say it's driving North.

a).  From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .

b).  From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.

c).  A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.

The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.

Now follow me here . . .

The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south.  BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.

That's what everybody on the train sees.

==============================================

Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:

You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ? 

Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself !  Only of others.

The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else.  And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.

And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.

Answer:

The Forces of Flight

At any given time, there are four forces acting upon an aircraft.  

These forces are lift, weight (or gravity), drag and thrust. Lift is  

the key aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air. It is the  

force that opposes weight; thus, lift helps to keep an aircraft in  

the air. Weight is the force that works vertically by pulling all  

objects, including aircraft, toward the center of the Earth. In order  

to fly an aircraft, something (lift) needs to press it in the opposite  

direction of gravity. The weight of an object controls how strong  

the pressure (lift) will need to be. Lift is that pressure. Drag is a  

mechanical force generated by the interaction and contract of a  

solid body, such as an airplane, with a fluid (liquid or gas). Finally,  

the thrust is the force that is generated by the engines of an  

aircraft in order for the aircraft to move forward.

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have
cricket20 [7]
1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J
So the power output is 
P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa
