While the decibel scale can be used in many disciplines, we shall restrict our attention to its use in acoustics, specifically its use in measuring the intensity level of sound. The Sound Intensity Level (measured in decibels) of a sound intensity (measured in watts per square meter) is given by Compute Damage to your hearing can start with short term exposure to sound levels around 115 decibels. What intensity is needed to produce this level

Ahowler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 4.6 km. assume the acoustic output of a howler to be uniform in all directions and that the threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 w/m2. what is the acoustic power emitted by the howler

Explain the difference between each pair of concepts. a. frequency and relative frequency b. percentage and relative frequency a. select the correct choice below. a. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. b. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a value to the total number of observations. c. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times a particular distinct value occurs to the frequency. d. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of two different values.

Astone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. what is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground? a. 13.6 m/sec b. 1.39 m/sec c. 185 m/sec d. 9.80 m/sec
