The intensity level of a power mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 db. you wake up one morning to find that four of your neighbors are mowing their lawn 20 m from your open bedroom window. what is the intensity level in your bedroom? the intensity level of a power mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 db. you wake up one morning to find that four of your neighbors are mowing their lawn 20 m from your open bedroom window. what is the intensity level in your bedroom?

a. 50 db

b. 400 db

c. 104 db

d. 80 db

e. 40 db

β₂ = 74 dB,    The answer is D which is the closest

Explanation:

The definition and intensity is the power per unit area

        I = P / A

        P = I A

The emitted power is constant whereby the energy is distributed over the surface of a sphere

       A = 4π R²

We can also write it in two points

      P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

      I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

      I₁ / I₂ = 4π R₂² / 4π R₁²

      I₁ / I₂ = R₂² / R₁²

The definition of decibels is

     β = 10 log (I / I₀)

Let's write this equation for the two given points

m = 1m

     β₁ = 10 log (I₁ / I₀)

m = 20m

     β₂ = 10 log (I₂ / I₀)

Let's eliminate  I₀

     β₁ - β₂ = 10 log (I₁ / I₀) - 10 log (I₂ / I₀) = 10 (log (I₁ / I₀) –log (I₂ / I₀))

     β₁ - β₂ = 10 log (I₁ / I₂)

     β₁ - β₂ = 10 log (R₂² / R₁²)

Let's calculate

     100 –β₂ = 10 log (20²/1²)

     β₂ = 100 - 10 log 400

     β₂  = 100 - 26.0

     β₂ = 74 dB

The answer is D which is the closest

gravity

explanation:

the chart show the masses and velocities of two colliding objects that stick together after a collision.

according to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the object after the collision is  

answer

1,500

kg • m/s.
