An enclosed chamber with sound absorbing walls has a 2.0 m × 1.0 m opening for an outside window. A loudspeaker is located outdoors, 78 m away and facing the window

The intensity level of the sound entering the window space from the loudspeaker is 79 dB. Assume the acoustic output of the loudspeaker is uniform in all directions and that the acoustic energy incident upon the ground is completely absorbed and therefore is not reflected into the window. The threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. The acoustic power entering through the window space is closest to A) 160 µW. B) 79 µW. C) 320 µW. D) 790 µW. E) 1600 µW.

In Figure 7.7, a 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, the spring is compressed a maximum distance of 0.68 m

What is the speed of the block when the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?
