Answer:
Sound intensity levels are quoted in decibels (dB) much more often than sound intensities in watts per meter squared. Decibels are the unit of choice in the scientific literature as well as in the popular media. The reasons for this choice of units are related to how we perceive sounds. How our ears perceive sound can be more accurately described by the logarithm of the intensity rather than directly to the intensity. The sound intensity level β in decibels of a sound having an intensity I in watts per meter squared is defined to be β(dB)=10log10(II0)β(dB)=10log10(II0), where I0 = 10−12 W/m2 is a reference intensity. In particular, I0 is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz. Sound intensity level is not the same as intensity. Because β is defined in terms of a ratio, it is a unitless quantity telling you the level of the sound relative to a fixed standard (10−12 W/m2, in this case). The units of decibels (dB) are used to indicate this ratio is multiplied by 10 in its definition. The bel, upon which the decibel is based, is named for Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

Explanation:
Answer:
1.6 m
Explanation:
Given that the launch velocity of a toy car launcher is determined to be 5 m/s. If the car is to be launched from a height of 0.5 m.
The time for landing should be calculated by using the second equation of motion formula
h = Ut + 1/2gt^2
Let U = 0
0.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2
0.5 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 0.5 / 4.9
t^2 = 0.102
t = 0.32 s
The target should be placed so that the toy car lands on it at:
Distance = 5 × 0.32
distance = 1.597 m
Distance = 1.6 m
Therefore, the target should be placed so that the toy car lands on it 1.6 metres away.
It's difficult to measure that because it's hard to make sure it is only a uniform layer of gas in whatever you're measuring it in
