Answer:
Explanation:
The hippopotamus hearing threshold is 100dB
β = 100 dB
The threshold of human hearing is Io = 1 × 10^-12 W/m²
The sound intensity level is given as
β = 10•Log(I / Io)
100 = 10•Log(I / Io)
Divided Both sides by 10
100 / 10 = Log(I / Io)
10 = Log(I / Io)
Take inverse Logarithm ( antilog) of both sides
10^10 = 10^[Log(I / Io)]
10^10 = I / Io
Then,
I = 10^10 × Io
I = 10^10 × 1 × 10^-12
I = 1 × 10^-2 W/m²
I = 0.01 W/m²
The sound intensity is 0.01 W/m²

Assuming that reaching a height 0 doesn’t stop the ball, and that it accelerates at 9.8 m/s^2, the ball would be traveling at 0.5 + 0.7*9.8 = 7.36 m/s downwards.
