To understand the concept of intensity; the relationship between the power of the source and the intensity of the wave; and the dependence of intensity on distance. Since waves transfer energy from one point to another, one can define the power of a wave as the rate at which the wave transports energy. The intensity of a wave, in contrast, is the power relative to a certain surface. Consider a wave traveling across a surface perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The intensity Iof the wave is defined as the ratio of the power P of the wave to the area A of that surface:I=PA. Note that the surface may be real (physical, like an eardrum or a windowpane) or mathematical. Quite frequently, we will be interested in the intensity produced by a relatively small source at a relatively large distance. If the source emits waves uniformly in all possible directions (produces spherical waves), the formula given here makes it possible to find the intensity at a distance r from the source:I=P/4?r^2.Note that, in all parts of this problem, assume that the source generates spherical waves, so that this intensity formula is applicable. Intensity is measured in watts per square meter (W/m^2). All the information presented here is pertinent to any kind of wave. In this problem, we will be focusing on sound waves. A popular car stereo has four speakers, each rated at 60 W. In answering the following questions, assume that the speakers produce sound at their maximum power. A:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.0 m. Express your answer numerically in watts per square meter. Use two significant figures. B:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by one 60-Wspeaker at a distance of 1.5 m. Express your answer numerically in watts per square meter. Use two significant figures. C:Find the intensity I of the sound waves produced by four 60-Wspeakers as heard by the driver. Assume that the driver is located 1.0 m from each of the two front speakers and 1.5 m from each of the two rear speakers. Express your answer numerically in watts per meter squared. The threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. It is approximately 10^?12W/m^2. Find the distance d from the car at which the sound from the stereo can still be discerned. Assume that the windows are rolled down and that each speaker actually produces 0.06 W of sound, as suggested in the last follow-up comment.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
