Question
You and a friend are watching fireworks that are launching from Grant Park.You are standing right in front of 624 S. Michigan Building (150 m from the launch area) and your friend is across campus at the Film Department (700 m from the launch area). The sound intensity at the Film Department is 0.2 W/m2. What is the sound intensity at your location, and how much power is the fireworks emitting?

- A 40-cm-long tube has a 40-cm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. As the insert is slowly pulled out, the sound from the tuning fork creates standing waves in the tube when the total length LL is 42.5 cm , 58.0 cm , and 73.5 cm. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Assume vsoundvsound = 343 m/sarrow_forward30 m from an ultrasonic sensor. The total travel time of the ultrasonic wave is 33 ms (milliseconds). What is the speed of sound in these conditions?arrow_forwardYou're using an ultrasonic sensor in the deep depths of the ocean to identify shipwrecks. However, you first need to calibrate your sensor for these conditions, as the speed of sound is unknown in the cold, high pressure conditions you are working in. You set up an experiment in a lab where you recreate the environmental conditions of the deep ocean and place an object 30 m from an ultrasonic sensor. The total travel time of the ultrasonic wave is 33 ms (milliseconds). What is the speed of sound in these conditions?arrow_forward
- I'm not sure how to solve this type of problem. Detailed steps would be very helpful, please. The intensity of a sound wave is 100 W/m2 at a distance of 3 m. a. What is the intensity of the sound wave at a distance of 6 m? b. What is the intensity at 9 m?arrow_forwardA student hears a sound with a power of P = 42 μW. At their distance from the source, the sound has intensity I = 0.71 W/m2. A. Assuming the eardrum is circular, what is the radius of their eardrum, in meters? B. Another student stands in the exact same location, but receives 20% more power from the same source. What is the radius of the second student's eardrums?arrow_forwardA loudspeaker on a pole at the same height as your ears is radiating 100 W of sound energy in all directions. You are walking directly toward the speaker at 0.60 m/s. Assume your ears are 20 m away from the loudspeaker itself and, although it is not realistic, ignore all reflections of sound from nearby objects such as the ground. What is the sound intensity level at the location of your ears?

- f. It is discovered that over this part of the track, the cars are experiencing friction forces of 100 N. If the length of the drop is 40 m, what is the total work done on a carriage weighing 200 kg? Oscillator Type Question: A ship uses a horn to signal to other ships. The horn emits a sound intensity measuring 120 dB at 1 m using a point detector, with a frequency of 150 Hz. The horn is at approximately sea level at a temperature of 10°C. a. If the reference intensity of sound in air is 1 pW/m², what is the total power of the horn? b. If the ambient sound of the ocean is about 50 dB, at what distance will the horn be difficult to hea How long will it take the sound of the horn to cover this distance if the air is mainly N2 with a molar mass of 28 g/mol and an adiabatic ratio of 7/5? C. d. A window measuring 2x3 m is placed 1 m from the horn. The window can withstand a maximum force of 100 N, will it be shattered by the sound if the reference pressure for sound in air is 20μPa? e.

Two people on both side of the car are running at 5 m/s to the left. The frequency of the siren is 400 Hz. The person on the left observes a frequency of 388.7 Hz. Speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. a) How fast is the policy car travelling? b) What is the frequency observed by the person on the right? c) What is the wavelength observed by the person on the righ?
