A microphone receiving a pure sound tone feeds an oscilloscope, producing a wave on its screen. If the sound intensity is originally 2.00 x 10-5 W/m2, but is turned up until the amplitude increases by 30.0%, what is the new intensity?
If the spring constant of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor will the mass of the system need to change in order for the frequency of the motion to remain the same?
How would a car bounce after a bump under each of these conditions?
• Over damping
• Under damping
• Critical damping
What conditions must be met to produce simple harmonic motion?
(a) What is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 90.0% absorbed, puts 500 J of energy into a circular spot 2.00 mm in diameter in 4.00 s?
(b) Discuss how this intensity compares to the average intensity of sunlight (about 700 W/m2) and the implications that would have if the laser beam entered your eye. Note how your answer depends on the time duration of the exposure.
