A vibrating standing wave on a string radiates a sound wave with intensity proportional to the square of the standing-wave ampli

tude. When a piano key is struck and held down, so that the string continues to vibrate, the sound level decreases by 9.0 dB in 1.0 s. What is the string's damping time constant τ ?

Answer:

string's damping is 1.03676

Explanation:

given data

sound level = 9.0 dB

time = 1 sec

to find out

string's damping

solution

we will apply here formula for string damping (b) that is

A(t) = A × e^{-bt}   ...................1

we know here I  ∝ A² so

√I(t) = √I × e^{-bt}  

√I(t) / √I =  e^{-bt}     .....................2

we know sound level decreases 9 dB i.e ΔdB = 9

so we can write

ΔdB = 10 log ( I(t) / I)

9 = 10 log ( I(t) / I)

I(t) / I = 10^{-0.9}

I(t) / I = 0.1258

and

√I(t) / I) = √0.1258 = 0.3546     .......................3

from equation 2 and 3 we get

0.3546 = e^{-bt}

take ln both side

-bt = ln 0.3546

here we know t is 1 sec

so

- b = - 1.03676

b = 1.03676

so here string's damping is 1.03676

A magnetic field of 0.080 T is in the y-direction. The velocity of wire segment S has a magnitude of 78 m/s and components of 18
Annette [7]

Answer:

Part a)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Z direction is 0.72 V

Part b)

Induced EMF when length vector is along Y direction is ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the motional EMF induced in the wire is given as

E = (v\times B). L

1)

As we know that

v = 18\hat i + 24\hat j + 72\hat k

B = 0.080 \hat j

L = 0.50 \hat k

now we have

\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i

so we have

E = 1.44 (0.50) = 0.72 V

2)

If the length vector is along Y direction then we have

L = 0.50 \hat j

so again we have

\vec v \times \vec B = 1.44\hat k - 5.76 \hat i

so we have

EMF = 0

A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 t. what is the maximum hall voltage
Alex787 [66]
The equation for Hall voltage Vh is:

Vh=v*B*w, where v is the velocity of the strip, B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, and w is the width of the strip. 

v=25 cm/s = 0.25 m/s
B=5.6 T
w= 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

We input the numbers into the equation and get:

Vh= 0.25*5.6*0.0012 = 0.00168 V

The maximum Hall voltage is Vh= 0.00168 V.

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

A pump lifts water from a lake to a large tank 20 m above the lake. How much work against gravity does the pump do as it transfe
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

980 kJ

Explanation:

Work = change in energy

W = mgh

W = (1000 kg/m³ × 5.0 m³) (9.8 m/s²) (20 m)

W = 980,000 J

W = 980 kJ

The pump does 980 kJ of work.
