What is the period of 60 Hz electrical power?
Why are soldiers in general ordered to “route step” (walk out of step) across a bridge?
(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.
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?
