As long as all the waves stay in the same medium, the intensity of
any waves ... electromagnetic or mechanical ... decrease in proportion
to the square of the distance.

If the distance increases to 3 x the original distance, then the intensity
changes to  1/3² or 1/9 of the original intensity.

I suppose choice-'d' is the correct one, but I have to tell you that
the phrase "nine times as low" is mathematically meaningless,
and it really grinds my gears.

Correct answer choice is :


D) Nine times as low.


Explanation:


Sound intensity level also identified as acoustic intensity is described as the energy taken by sound waves per unit area in a path perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which involves sound intensity, is the watt per square meter (W/m2). The loudness of a sound describes the intensity of any given sound to the intensity at the start of sound. It is marked in decibels (dB).

A ball is dropped from a rooftop 60m high. <br> How long is the ball in the air?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: 3.49 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equation of motion:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y=0 m is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=60 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=0 m/s is the initial velocity (the ball was dropped)

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleratio due gravity

t is the time

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (60 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (3)

Finally we find the time the ball is in the air:

t=3.49 s (4)

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?
Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

Hey mate
Here is your answer
Option A)
Explanation:
The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. Pitch (frequency) – shown by the spacing of the waves displayed. The closer together the waves are, the higher the pitch of the sound.
