Normal conversation has a sound level of about 60 db. How many times more intense must a 100-hz sound be compared to a 1000-hz s

Answer:

5.65 times

Explanation:

60 db sound is equal to 60 phons sound when frequency is kept at 1000Hz.

But when the frequency of sound  is changed to 100 Hz , according to equal loudness curves , the loudness level on phon scale will be 35 phons.

A decrease of 10 phon on phon- scale makes sound 2 times less loud

Therefore a decrease of 25 phons will make loudness less intense by a factor equal to 2²°⁵ or 5.65 less intense . Therefore intensity at 100 Hz

must be increased 5.65 times so that its intensity matches intensity of 60 dB sound at  1000 Hz  frequency.

Explain why a golf ball has a higher density than a ping pong ball, even though they are similar in size and shape.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The ping pong ball is hollow.

Explanation:

Since a ping pong ball, unlike the golf ball, is only filled with air, it is less dense. Air is notably LESS dense than solids, which is what comprises the inside of a golf ball.

If a person walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, and then walks 82 m in the
timurjin [86]

Aster's final position from her initial position is 63 m approximately. She will head north west direction to return to her initial position

<h3>What is Displacement ?</h3>

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity.

Given that a person walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, and then walks 82 m in the direction 20° south of east, and finally walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north.

a) Let P be the Aster's final position from her initial position?

We can use bearing by using Cosine formula to solve this question.

P² = 70² + 82² - 2 × 70 × 82 cos 73

P² = 4900 + 6724 - 11480 cos 73

P² = 11624 - 3356.43

P² = 8267.57

P = √8267.57

P = 90.9 m

P = 90.9 - 28

P = 62.9 m

We can get the angle by using Sine rule

82/ sin Ф = 90.9 / sin 73

sin Ф = 0.8627

Ф = Sin^{-1} (0.8627)

Ф = 59.6°

Ф = 60°

b)  She will head north west direction to return to her initial position

A 0.380 kg block of wood rests on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a spring (also horizontal) with a 28.0 N/
Sati [7]

Initial momentum of the Play-doh: 0.0600 x 2.60 = 0.156 kg/m/s

Total mass of the block and play-doh: 0.38 + 0.0600 = 0.44 kg.

Final momentum is mass x velocity = 0.44v

V = Initial momentum / mass

V = 0.156 / 0.44 = 0.3545 m/s

Work done by spring is equal to the Kinetic enrgy.

Work Done by spring = 1/2 *28.0 * distance^2 = 14 * d^2

KE = 1/2 * 0.44* 0.3545^2

set to equal each other:

14 * d^2 = 0.22 *0.12567

Solve for d:

d = √(0.22*0.12567)/14

d = 0.44 meters = 4.4cm
