The Sacramento City Council adopted a law to reduce the allowed sound intensity level of the much-despised leaf blowers from their current level of about 95 dB to 70 db. With the new law, what is the ratio of the new allowed intensity to the previously allowed intensity?
The upper end of a 3.80mlong steel wire is fastened to the ceiling, and a 54.0kg object is suspended from the lower end of the wire. You observe that it takes a transverse pulse 0.0492s to travel from the bottom to the top of the wire. What is the mass of the wire?
How fast (as a percentage of light speed) would a star have to be moving so that the frequency of the light we receive from it is 10.0% higher than the frequency of the light it is emitting? Would it be moving away from us or toward us? (Assume it is moving either directly away from us or directly toward us.)
