Answer:

If the driver is wearing a seat belt, the seat belt rather than the windshield applies the unbalanced force that stops the driver's forward motion. The force from the seat belt is applied over a longer time, so the force causes less damage.

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30

12345 [234]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

$\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})$

I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

$30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})$

$\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3$

$I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2$

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

$80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})$

$\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8$

$I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2$

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}$

$10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}$

r₂ = 0.2 m
