A speaker at an open-air concert emits 500 W of sound power, radiated equally in all directions.
Part A:
What is the intensity of the sound 6.8 m from of the speaker?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part B:
What sound intensity level would you experience there if you did not have any protection for your ears?
Express your answer using two significant figures. Units must be in (dB)
Part C:
Earplugs you can buy in the drugstore have a noise reduction rating of 23 decibels. If you are wearing those earplugs but your friend Phil is not, how far from the speaker should Phil stand to experience the same loudness as you?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

1. Given two vectors such as
A⃗ =2x̂ +4ŷ +7ẑ
B⃗ =−3x̂ +8ŷ −2ẑ
what is their sum? What is its length, and what angle does it make to the plane of x and y? What is the dot product A⃗ ⋅B⃗
? What is the dot product of their sum with a unit vector in the z direction (A⃗ +B⃗ )⋅ẑ
? (Hint: this gives the z-component of the sum.).
2. When you apply a force of 100 N to a 25 kg box resting on a table, what is the smallest coefficient of static friction that will give a frictional force sufficient to prevent the box from moving? Suppose you push just a little harder and it starts to move. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.1, how fast will it be going after 2 seconds of pushing?
3. If you walk up a mountain that is 1.5 km high (1500 meters), and your mass is 65 kg (your weight is about 143 lb of gravitational force at Earth's surface), how much energy do you use in joules to overcome Earth's gravity? How much would that be in food calories, where 1 calorie is 4.18 J and a "food" calorie is a kilocalorie in the units used by physicists and chemists. Similarly, if an object of your falls from low Earth orbit to Earth's surface, a distance of say 400 km which is the approximate height of the International Space Station orbit, how much kinetic energy would it have on reaching the Earth's surface -- assuming (a) it starts from rest, and (b) it does not lose energy to the atmosphere on the way down.

A coil is wrapped with 291 turns of wire on the perimeter of a square frame of sides 25.3 cm. Each turn has the same area, equal to that of the frame, and the total resistance of the coil is 2.05 Ohm. A uniform magnetic field is turned on perpendicular to the plane of the coil.

I have a question about difference between physical observables and eigenstates in quantum mechanics
it is postulated in Quantum Mechanics that
physical observable in Classical Mechanics are represented by linear operators
the state of the particle was represented by a curve in phase space determined by generalized position and momentum
but in Quantum Mechanics it is represented by a vector in Hilbert space
and if we measure the physical observable of the particle, the previous state of the particle once superpositioned with eigenstates of the physical observables
with the corresponding weighting factor(square of it is probability of yielding the result when measure) collapses to a single eigenstate and gives out the corresponding eigenvalue
but I don't understand what is the difference between physical observable represented by linear operator and the eigenstate of the particle
