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 is it important to consider experimental error in all the empirical results presented?
yuradex [85]

<span>Empirical studies are results of analysis of data based on actual observation or experiences in the field. When conducting an empirical study, quantitative and qualitative approaches are employed, including:</span>

<span>1.      </span><span>Providing  data</span>

<span>2.      </span>Emphasizes features of a new condition

<span>3.      </span>Describes the current status of existing condition

<span>4.      </span>Highlight associations between variables, but cannot establish causality, and

<span>5.      </span>Suggest hypotheses which can be tested in analytical studies

<span>Qualitative empirical studies provide deep contextual data to help us understand a situation, but it cannot be used to establish its prevalence or incidence.  It cannot be generalized also to highlight the statistical relationship between variables. If the aim is to measure the relationship, the quantitative methods should be used. A cross-sectional survey with large sample size is needed to describe the who, what, and where of a situation. Still, it cannot answer the why question.  In order to answer the question of "why",  an analytical or experimental study is needed. Experimental error is an important consideration here considering lapses or inaccuracies in the qualitative and quantitative data. </span>
