Answer:
1. Decibels
2. whisper - 20-decibels, normal talking - 60 decibels, rock concert - 120 decibels
3. 10,000
4. A Jet plane
Explanation:
1. The unit refers to what specifically is being measured. If the graph was of heights, it could be metres, centimetres, feet, or inches, for example. In this case, the graph is of sound level. We can see beside the Y axis label "Sound Level" that the unit is decibels.
2. Take each individual sound source and look at how tall the bars are (purple rectangles). For each one, we can look across to the Y axis (left side) and see the corresponding sound level for each
3. We were told in the introduction to the question that for every 10 decibel increase, the sound increases by 10 times. So going from 10 -> 20 decibels represents a 10x increase, and 10-> 30 represents a 100x increase.
To figure out the increase from whisper (20) to normal talking (60), take away 20 from 60 to see how many decibels difference there are between the two levels.
60-20 = 40
There is a 40 decibel increase. If 10 decibel difference = 10x and 20 decibel difference = 100x, then 30 = 1000x, and 40 = 10,000x (keep adding a 0 with every 10!)
4. We can see from the graph that the pain threshold is 120 decibels. The sound level that is greater than the pain threshold (meaning it would be painful) is the jet plane.
One fourth means (one half) of (one half) .
So the 18 months must be two half-lifes.
The half-life of this particular isotope is 9 months.
1.photosynthesis is anabolic while cellular respiration is catabolic
2.photosynthesis occur in the day while cellular respiration take place any time
It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.
Cells need both genes, and each cell inherits half of the genes from both cell parents.
