The loudness or sound intensity of the roaring truck engine is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. it follows the law of squares that is 
r1^2 / r2^2 = L2/L1
8^2 / 4^2 = L2 / 100 dB
L2 =  400 dB

The answer to this problem is 400 dB increased frim 100 dB.

Which is true concerning the acceleration due to Earth's gravity (ge) ? It decreases with increasing altitude. B. It is differe
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Option A decreases with increase in altitude

Explanation:

This can be explained as the value of gravitational acceleration, 'g' is not same everywhere.

It has its maximum value at poles of the Earth and minimum on its equator.

Thus a person will weigh more at poles than equator.

This variation is in accordance to:

g = \frac{GM_{E}}{radius^{2}}

Thus the gravitational acceleration changes as inverse square of the Radius of the Earth.

Thus as we move away from the Earth's center, gravitational acceleration, g decreases.

What is the diameter of a circle
aalyn [17]
A diameter is a straight line that begins at one end of the circle and ends at the opposite end. The condition for a line to be a diameter is that it must pass through the centre of the circle. If a line that touches two points on the circle, does not pass from the centre of the circle, it cannot be called a diameter.
The length of the diameter is the measurement of the line that connects the two points of the circle.
