Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the receiver.
That is 
I = k/r^2
 where
 k = constant
 r = radius

When r=1,  the intensity is I₁ = k/1 = k
When r=3, the intensity I₂ = k/3² = k/9
Therefore
 I₂ = I₁ /9

In decibels,
I = 10 log₁₀(I/I₀)
where I₀ = reference intensity

When r=1,
10 log₁₀ (I₁/I₀) = 270

When r =3,
10 log₁₀ (I₂/I₀) = 10 log₁₀ [(I₂/I₁)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀ [(1/9)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀(1/9) + 270
                     = 260.5

Answer: 260.5 dB (nearest tenth)

While on a sailboat at anchor, you notice that 15 waves pass its bow every minute. The waves have a speed of 6.0 m/s . Part A Wh
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)

a 1 gram spiders sits on a platform rotating at 78 rpm. the spider is 15 cm from the centre disk. find the speed of the spider
olga nikolaevna [1]

The spider is traveling in a circle with radius = 15cm

The circumference of any circle = <em>2 pi (radius)</em>
The circumference of the spider's path = 2 pi (15 cm) = 30 pi cm

The spider completes a trip around this path 78 times per minute.
Its speed, relative to you, is   

                               (78) x (30 pi) cm/min =

                                       2,340 pi cm/min =  7,351.33 cm/min =

                                     <em>  73.5133 meter/min =</em>

                                       <em>4.411 km/hr =</em>

                                         <em>2.74  miles/hour

</em>
(After the last appearance of pi,
all numbers are rounded.)<em>
