The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the

acoustic output of a howler to be uniform in all directions and that the threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. A juvenile howler monkey has an acoustic output of 63 ȝW. What is the ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity I0, at a distance of 210 m?

Answer:

113.7

Explanation:

maximum distance (s) = 8.9 km

reference intensity (I0) = 1 x 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

power of a juvenile howler monkey (p) = 63 x 10^{-6} W

distance (r) = 210 m

intensity (I) = power/area

where we assume the area of a sphere due to the uniformity of the output in all directions

area = 4πr^{2} =  4π x 210^{2} = 554,176.9 m^{2}

intensity (I) = \frac{63 x 10^{-6} }{554,176.9} = 113.7 x 10^{-12}

therefore the desired ratio I/I0 = \frac{113.7 x 10^{-12}}{1 x 10^{-12}} = 113.7

Damm [24]

Answer:

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Explanation:

We are given;

h2 = 30m

h1 = 20m

Density; ρ = 1000 kg/m³

First of all, we know that the sum of the pressures in the tank and the pump is equal to that of the Nozzle,

Thus, it can be expressed as;

P_(tank)+ P_(pump) = P_(nozzle)

Now, the pressure would be given by;

P = ρgh

So,

ρgh_1 + P_(pump) = ρgh_2

Thus,

P_(pump) = ρg(h_2 - h_1)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

P_(pump) = 1000•9.8(30 - 20)

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.
