Answer:

The answer to the question above is explained below

Explanation:

The loudness or sound intensity of the roaring truck engine is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

r1^2 / r2^2 = L2/L1

Where, r1 and r2 = old distance and new distance respectively,

L1 and L2 = old sound intensity and new sound intensity respectively.

From the parameters given above,

r1=8m

r2=4m

L2=?

L1= 20dB

8^2 / 4^2 = L2 / 20 dB

L2 =  80 dB

The answer  is 80 dB. Increased from 20 dB.

Decibel (dB),  is a relative unit of measurement used for expressing the ratio between two physical quantities, usually electric power, or for measuring Sound intensity. Decibels measure the ratio of a given intensity to the threshold of hearing intensity.

Sound intensity, also known as acoustic intensity, is a vector describing the intensity of a sound is proportional to its amplitude squared.

Answer:

80 dB

Explanation:

Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance traveled by the sound.

Thus;

r1^2 divide by r2^2 = L2divideL1

where r= distance (m)

L= sound intensity (decibal dB)

8squared divide by 4 squared = L2 divide 20 dB

L2 = 4 × 20

L2= 80 dB

This means that the sound is increased from 20 dB to 80 dB.

Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?
Fed [463]

Answer:

The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

When molecules move from high to low concentration, it is known as Diffusion. It moves with the concentration gradient and does not require energy.

However, when molecules move from low to high concentration, it is against the concentration gradient and cannot proceed without Energy. This process is called Active transport.

Cell membrane is not thick, it is thin and semi permeable.

Forensic scientists can match missing persons and their families by matching maternal DNA to the missing individual. Which type
andrey2020 [161]
<span>mtDNA analysis is the best DNA technology to use. In DNA fingerprinting scientists run a gel electrophoresis of the subject's DNA in order to establish the banding patterns of the DNA fragments. People will always share half of their DNA with a parent. SO half of an individual's banding pattern will match half of their parent's DNA banding pattern. If someone is missing is found then scientists can compare the DNA fingerprint or banding patterns to see what the likelihood is of them being related.</span>
