You have your headphones turned all the way up (100 dB).

a. If you want them to sound half as loud, to what decibel level must the music be set?

b. If you want them to sound 1/4 as loud, to what decibel level must the music be set?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 90 dB

b. 80 dB

Explanation:

The given parameter of the sound is as follows;

The level to which the headphones are tuned = All the way up

The intensity of the sound of the headphones when tuned all the way up = 100 dB

a. The relationship between level change in loudness, ΔL, and the ratio of loudness, 'x', is presented as follows;

ΔL = 10·log₂(x) ≈ 33.22·log(x)

Therefore, for a sound to be half as loud, we have x = 1/2, therefore;

ΔL = 10·log₂(1/2) = 10·log₂(2⁻¹) = -10 ≈ 33.22·log(1/2)

The change in the intensity level for a sound half as loud, ΔL = -10 dB

Given that the sound was initially at 100 dB, the new level for a sound half as loud = 100 dB + ΔL = 100 dB - 10 dB = 90 dB

The decibel level the music must be set for a sound half as loud = 90 dB

b. In order for the sound to be 1/4 as loud, we have;

ΔL = 10·log₂(1/4) = 10·log₂(2⁻²) = -20

Therefore, the change in the level of the sound intensity level, ΔL by -20 dB will given a sound that is 1/4 as loud

The initial intensity level = 100 dB

The intensity level for a sound 1/4 as loud = 100 dB - 20 dB = 80 dB

If a book has a weight of 23.3 N on earth, what is its mass

Answers

Answer:

2.38 kg

Explanation:

by definition, weight in physics is the force of gravity (Fg)

Fg = mass x gravity or mg

gravity is 9.8 m/s^2

N = kg m/s^2

Fg = mg

23.3 kg m/s^2 = 9.8 m/s^2 x m

23.3 kg m/s^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = m    >>> m/s^2 cancel out

23.3/9.8 = 2.37755 kg

m = 2.38 kg

what are the two
factors in which weight of object depends?​

Answers

Answer:

An object's weight depends on its mass (the amount of matter it consists of) and the strength of the gravitational pull.

Two factors that affect the weight of an object is mass and constant gravitational force.

How are wave properties and energy related?
give me examples

Answers

Answer:

They don’t ‘represent’ anything, they are properties of the wave.

Depending on the type of wave, we experience them as various phenomena. For example, with a sound wave we experience frequency (or wavelength, which is just another way to describe the same property) as the pitch of the sound. We experience amplitude as the loudness of the sound, although due to the characteristics of the ear, frequency also effects perceived loudness.

If the wave is a light wave, we experience the frequency (wavelength) as the colour of the light, and the amplitude as the brightness of the light.

For many waves, we don’t perceive them at all (e.g. radio waves).

For ocean waves, frequency is the time for each peak or trough to reach us, and amplitude is how tall the wave is.

A pressure of 7x10^5N/m is applied to all surfaces of a copper cube (of sides 25 cm) what is the fractional change in volume of a cube? ( for copper B= 14x10^10N/m)

Answers

Answer:

The correct solution is "[tex]5\times 10^{-4}[/tex] %".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Pressure,

[tex]\Delta P=7\times 10^5 \ N/m[/tex]

for copper,

[tex]B=14\times 10^{10} \ N/m[/tex]

As we know,

The Bulk Modulus (B) = [tex]\frac{\Delta P}{-\frac{\Delta V}{V} }[/tex]

or,

The decrease in volume will be:

= [tex](\frac{\Delta V}{V})\times 100 \ percent[/tex]

then,

= [tex]\frac{\Delta P}{B}\times 100 \ percent[/tex]

On putting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{7\times 10^5}{14\times 10^{10}}\times 100 \ percent[/tex]

3a. 240 C

3b. 3666.67 A

Explanation:

3a. Determination of the charge.

Current (I) = 2 A

Time (t) = 120 s

Charge (Q) =?

The charge, current and time are related by the following equation:

Charge (Q) = current (I) × time (t)

Q = It

With the above formula, we can obtain the charge as follow:

Current (I) = 2 A

Time (t) = 120 s

Charge (Q) =?

Q = It

Q = 2 × 120

Q = 240 C

Thus, the charge is 240 C

3b. Determination of the current

We'll begin by converting 220 KC to C. This can be obtained as follow:

1 KC = 1000 C

Therefore,

220 KC = 220 KC × 1000 C / 1 KC

220 KC = 220000 C

Next, we shall express 1 minute in second. This is shown below:

1 min = 60 s

Finally, we shall determine the current. This can be obtained as follow:

Charge (Q) = 220000 C

Time (t) = 60 s

Current (I) =?

Q = It

220000 = I × 60

Divide both side by 60

I = 220000 / 60

I = 3666.67 A

Thus, the current flowing through the bulb is 3666.67 A

A) The biggest student will go the furthest.
B) The smallest student will go the furthest.
c) Each student will go further than the last.
D) All four student will go about the same distance.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It would be diffrent if on a downward slope but assuming your going straight it would be the smallest student.

The smallest student will go furthest if all the students push with the same amount of force. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What is Newton's second law of motion?

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the force equals the mass of the body times the acceleration of that body when the body has constant mass.

This law states that the acceleration of a body depends on two variables. The first one is the mass of the body and the force acting on the body. The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body and inversely proportional to the mass.

Newton’s second law can be expressed in the equation as shown below:

[tex]F= ma[/tex]

or,

[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]

Acceleration or gaining speed of a body happens when a force acts on it.

When all four students are pushed by the same amount of force then the acceleration of the smallest student will be greatest as the mass of the smallest student will be least.

Therefore, the smallest student will go furthest in comparison to all other students.

Answers

Answer:

Ver explicación

Explanation:

Según los principios de Arquímedes, el empuje hacia arriba de un objeto sumergido en un fluido es igual al peso del fluido desplazado.

Por eso

Empuje hacia arriba = volumen del objeto * densidad del fluido * aceleración debida a la gravedad

Empuje hacia arriba = 2 * 10 ^ -6 / 2 * 1 * 10 ^ 3 * 10

Empuje hacia arriba = 0.01 N

Desde;

Empuje hacia arriba = peso del fluido desplazado

peso del fluido desplazado = 0.01 N

Masa de fluido desplazado = 0.01 N / 10 = 1 * 10 ^ -3 Kg o 1 g

What is ecosystem?

Ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment. It includes plants, animals, microorganisms, soil, water, and other resources, and the chemical and energy exchanges between them.

This is because energy enters an ecosystem through sunlight and is transformed through the process of photosynthesis by producers, like plants, into chemical energy. This energy is then passed on to consumers, like humans, through a food chain. Eventually, energy exits the ecosystem in the form of heat, which is released into the environment. On the other hand, matter cycles within an ecosystem through a process called the biogeochemical cycle. Nutrients, like carbon and nitrogen, enter the environment from different sources and are taken up by producers and then passed on to consumers. The matter is then returned to the environment as waste, which is then taken up by producers again.
