rjkz [21]

Answer:

Part A

I = 1.4 mW/m²

Part B

β = 91.46 dB

Explanation:

Part A

Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.

For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}$

Where;

P is the source of power in watts (W)

I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)

r is the distance r away

Given:

P = 34 W,

A = 1.0 cm²

r = 44 m

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;

$I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}$

I = 0.0013975 W/m²

≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²

I = 1.4 mW/m²

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².

Part B

Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.

Sound intensity level is calculated as;

β $= 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{0}}$ dB

Where,

β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)

I is the sound intensity;

I₀ is the reference sound intensity;

By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

∴ β $= 10log_{10}\frac{1.4 * 10^{-3} W/m^{2}}{1.0 * 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}$

β $= 10log_{10} (1.4 * 10^{9})$

β = 91.46 dB

The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = $0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = $7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J$

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Area of the square plates is given as:

$A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2$

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F$

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

$U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}$

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C

Need help y’all ASAP please...physics

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

t = 3/8 seconds

Explanation:

h=-16t^2 - 10t+6

h= 0 when it hits the ground

0=-16t^2 - 10t+6

factor out a -2

0= -2(8t^2 +5t -3)

divide by -2

0 = (8t^2 +5t -3)

factor

0=(8t-3) (t+1)

using the zero product property

8t-3 = 0 t+1 =0

8t = 3 t= -1

t = 3/8 t= -1

t cannot be negative ( no negative time)

t = 3/8 seconds

A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 165 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.51$

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 25 kg

We know that when body is in rest condition then static friction force act on the body and when body is in motion the kinetic friction force act on the body .That is why these two forces are given as follows

Static friction force ,fs= 165 N

Kinetic friction force ,fk = 127 N

If the body is moving with constant velocity ,it means that acceleration of that body is zero and all the forces are balanced.

Lets take coefficient of kinetic friction = μk

The kinetic friction is given as follows

fk = μk m g

Now by putting the values

127 = μk x 25 x 9.81

$\mu_k=\dfrac{127}{25\times 9.81}$

$\mu_k=0.51$

Therefore the value of coefficient of kinetic friction will be 0.51
