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.)

1. You place an object 63 cm in front of a converging lens, with a 40 cm focal length.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1.

109.6 cm ,  - 1.74 , real

2.

1.5

Explanation:

1.

d₀ = object distance = 63 cm

f = focal length of the lens = 40 cm

d = image distance = ?

using the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d}

\frac{1}{40} = \frac{1}{63} + \frac{1}{d}

d = 109.6 cm

magnification is given as

m = \frac{-d}{d_{o}}

m = \frac{-109.6}{63}

m = - 1.74

The image is real

2

d₀ = object distance = a

d = image distance = - (a + 5)

f = focal length of lens = 30 cm

using the lens equation

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d}

\frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{- (a + 5)}

a = 10

magnification is given as

m = \frac{-d}{d_{o}}

m = \frac{- (- (a +5))}{a}

m = \frac{(5 + 10)}{10}

m = 1.5

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=5\ kg

Force of pull is, F=40\ N

Frictional force on the block is, f=8\ N

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

one thing that stringed, wind, and percussion instruments have in common in regard to the sounds they produce is that a. the ins
mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.
