The pitch of a sound is the distance from the sound source?

The pitch of a sound means the frequency. That stays constant with distance. You mean the sound pressure level that decreases with distance.


What does not have potential energy?

Any object that is at "level zero" has zero potential energy. In the case of gravitational potential energy, this level is sometimes defined to be ground level, sometimes (in Astronomy) at an infinite distance (in this case, any object that is closer than infinity has a negative potential energy).Any object that is at "level zero" has zero potential energy.

How loud is a Boeing 747?

A Boeing 747 at 100 m distance can have a sound pressure level of L = 130 dBSPL.Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone from the sound source, because the closer you are the louder it is.The sound pressure level decreases by 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.


How does an inclined plane reduce the amount of only force needed?

An inclined plane is a surface that is not horizontal (level), with one end higher than the other. Pushing a broken down car is much easier and takes less effort downhill, than to push the same car uphill.


How would the thinking distance of the car be affected?

Speed, drivers attention level, drivers ability, drivers ability to discern danger.

Why must a snooker table be level?

If the table was not level balls might move by rolling down a slope or not be able to travel in the correct way if hit uphill, or they may settle into divets in the table. So it is important that the surface is smooth and flat.
