It is higher.

In line with health and safety standards, it is compulsory to put on hearing protection when the value of the noise intensity is 95 dB and and exposure to such noise level should not exceed six hours in a day.

This health and safety standard is put in place to prevent some of the various health problems associated with exposure to a high level of noise such as hearing loss and hypertension.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Damage caused by exposure to a high level of noise is based on two things: for how long the person is exposed to the noise and how high is the level of the noise, that is, how loud the noise is.

OSHA has set a limit to determine when an exposure to a certain level of noise is no longer safe.

  • 90dB: if the noise level is below 90dB, there is no need to put on hearing protection unless the worker will be exposed to noise for more than 8 hours.
  • 92dB: employees must wear hearing protection if they will be exposed to a noise level at 92dB for 6 hours.
  • 97dB: employees can be exposed to noise at this level for three hours without hearing protection.
  • 100dB: this level is only safe for two hours without hearing protection
  • 102dB: employees must put on hearing protection if they are exposed to this level for more than 1.5 hours
  • 105db: employees need hearing protection if they are exposed to this environment for more than one hour.
  • 110dB: hearing protection is needed if someone is exposed to noise at this level for 30 minutes or less.
  • 115dB: you can only stay in this environment without hearing protection for just 15 minutes.

The answer to this question is "Greater than". As per the OSHA or Organizational Health and Health Organization, a noise level of 95 DB or decibels is greater than the lowest level at which hearing protection is required in 85 decibels and the person's exposure should be limited only to six hours or less than of it.

An airplane travels horizontally at a constant velocity v. An object is dropped from the plane and one second later another obje
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time

Explanation:

Since airplane is moving horizontally with constant speed v

so when object is dropped from the plane then the speed of the object will be same as that of the speed of the airplane

so we can say that two object when dropped after some interval of time then they always lie in same vertical line

now we know that they both have same acceleration in vertical line so the motion of two objects relative to each other in vertical direction is always uniform motion because they have no acceleration with respect to each other

So the vertical distance between the two object will increase uniformly when they are dropped after a fixed interval of time
