Part A A harvest mouse can detect sounds as quiet as -10 dB. Suppose you are sitting in a field on a very quiet day while a harvest mouse sits nearby. A very gentle breeze causes a leaf 1.7 m from your head to rustle, generating a faint sound right at the limit of your ability to hear it.

• Part A
A harvest mouse can detect sounds as quiet
as -10 dB. Suppose you are sitting in a field on a
very quiet day while a harvest mouse sits nearby. A
very gentle breeze causes a leaf 1.7 m from your
head to rustle, generating a faint sound right at the
limit of your ability to hear it. The sound of the
rustling leaf is also right at the threshold of hearing
of the harvest mouse.
How far is the harvest mouse from the leaf?

Part A The ability to hear a "pin drop" is the sign of sensitive hearing. Suppose a 0.48 g pin is dropped from a height of 29 cm, and that the pin emits sound for 1.3 s when it lands. Assuming all of the mechanical energy of the pin is converted to sound energy, and that the sound radiates uniformly in all directions, find the maximum distance from which a person can hear the pin drop. (This is the ideal maximum distance, but atmospheric absorption and other factors will make the actual maximum distance considerably smaller.) Express your answer using two significant figures. km
