15.49 - 30 seconds of exposure to 115 dB sound can damage your hearing, but a much quieter 94 dB may begin to cause damage after 1 hour of continuous exposure. You are going to an outdoor concert, and you'll be standing near a speaker that emits 47 W of acoustic power as a spherical wave. What minimum distance should you be from the speaker to keep the sound intensity level below 94 dB? Express your answer to two significant...

a) Two cars are set to race, one can only accelerate at a rate of 2m/s starting from rest, and the other can only travel at a set speed of 10 m/s. How fast does each car cover 400 m? Which car would cover a distance of 400 m faster? b) If both cars from the previous question started from the same position, at what time would they have the same displacement? What is the displacement of the vehicles? c)...

When we observe two charged balloons dangling from thin thread, they can repel each other. We tend to use small thin water balloons so they behave the right way. The balloons accumulated approximately equal amounts of charge. If we touch them together they can share charge and have equal charge. You are going to hang the two charged balloons from a rod/stick, on a string hung over the rod—making an inverted V like picture. The balloons will then repel. The...
