When you hear a noise, you usually know the direction from which it came even if you cannot see the source. This ability is part
ly because you have hearing in two ears. Imagine a noise from a source that is directly to your right. The sound reaches your right ear before it reaches your left ear. Your brain interprets this extra travel time (Δt) to your left ear and identifies the source as being directly to your right. In this simple model, the extra travel time is maximal for a source located directly to your right or left (Δt = Δtmax). A source directly behind or in front of you has equal travel time to each ear, so Δt = 0. Sources at other locations have intermediate extra travel times (0 ≤ Δt ≤ Δtmax). Assume a source is directly to your right.(a) Estimate the distance between a person's ears. (they gave us the answer of .2... apparently the program is messed up and we have to use .2(b) If the speed of sound in air at room temperature is vs = 338 m/s,find Δtmax. (Use your estimate.)
(c) Find Δtmax if instead you and the source are in seawater at the same temperature, where vs = 1534 m/s. (Use your estimate.)
(c) Find Δtmax if instead you and the source are in seawater at the same temperature, where vs = 1534 m/s. (Use your estimate.)

Answer:
100 V
Explanation:
Hi there!
Ohm's law states that where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance.
Plug the given information into Ohm's law (R=50, I=A)
Therefore, the voltage across this current is 100 V.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
a)
b) The second runner will win
c) d = 10.54m
Explanation:
For part (a):
For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:
Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.
For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:
X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m Since the finish line was 250m away:
d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m
