Answer:

99 dB

Explanation:

We have given that sound intensity with a damaged muffler =8× 10^{-3}

we have to find the intensity level of the this sound in decibels

for calculating in decibels we have to use the formula

β=10log\frac{I}{I_0}

  =10log\frac{.008}{10^{-12}}

   =10 log8+10 log10^{9}

   =10 log8+90 log10

   =10×0.9030+90

   =99 dB

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

What is the surface pressure of Venus?
kiruha [24]

answers 93 bar

The atmosphere of Venus is the layer of gases surrounding Venus. It is composed primarily of carbon dioxide and is much denser and hotter than that of Earth. The temperature at the surface is 740 K (467 °C, 872 °F), and the pressure is 93 bar (9.3 MPa), roughly the pressure found 900 m (3,000 ft) underwater on Earth.

A thin rod of length 0.64 m and mass 120 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing
valina [46]

Answer:

1. Kinetic Energy = 0.0161 Joules

2. Height = 0.0137m

Explanation:

Given

Length of Rod, l = 0.64m

Mass, m = 120g = 0.12kg

Angular speed, w = 1.40 rad/s

a.

Calculating the Rod's kinetic energy

This is calculated by

Kinetic Energy = ½Iw²

Where I = rotational inertia of the rod about an axis.

This is calculated as follows;

I = Icm + mh²

I = ImL² + m(L/2)²

I = 1/12 * 0.12 * 0.64² + 0.12 * (0.64/2)²

I = 0.016384 kgm²

By substituton

KE = ½Iw² becomes

KE = ½ * 0.016384 * 1.40²

KE = 0.01605632J

KE = 0.0161 Joules

2. Using the total conservation of momentum;

K + U = Kf + V

Where K = Initial Kinetic Energy of the rod at lowest point.

U = Initial gravitational potential energy of the rod at lowest point

Kf = Final Kinetic Energy of the rod at maximum height = 0 J

V = Final gravitational potential energy of the rod at maximum height

So, K + U = Kf + V become

K + U = 0 + V

K + U = V

K = V - U = mgh

substitute 0.01605632J for K

0.01605632J = mgh

h = 0.01605632J/mg

h = 0.01605632J/(0.12 * 9.8)

h = 0.013653333333333

h = 0.0137m

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy.
Alina [70]

If a force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion, that force cannot change the object's kinetic energy. It is a true statement .

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is basically the energy of mass in motion. Kinetic energy can never be negative and it is a scalar quantity i.e. it provides only the magnitude and not the direction.

According to law of conservation of mechanical energy change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the change in the kinetic energy.

According to the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved i.e., the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can only be internally converted from one form to another if the forces doing work on the system are conservative in nature.

since, potential energy is stored in the form of work done

Work done = Fs cos (theta)

If force always acts perpendicular to an object's direction of motion

theta =   90 °

cos (90 ) = 0

Work done  = 0

since , there is no work done , hence kinetic energy will not change
