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.)

Aliun [14]

Answer:570.54 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of man=76 kg

\theta =50^{\circ}

As man is standing over inclined building therefore

its weight has two components i.e. sin and cos component

Force perpendicular to inclined wall

F=mgcos\theta =76\times 9.8\times \sin 50

F=570.54 N

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener
iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg    (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J

  • Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = (1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

An engine with an electronic fuel injection system has high fuel pressure at idle. This could be caused by a:
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

An engine with an electronic fuel injection system has high fuel pressure at idle because of  high manifold vacuum. (option D)

Explanation:

Electronic fuel injection (EFI) system replaced carburetors back in the mid-1980s as the preferred method of supplying air and fuel to engines. The basic difference is that a carburetor uses intake vacuum and a pressure drop in the venturi, to siphon fuel from the carburetor fuel bowl into the engine. Whereas fuel injection system uses pressure to spray fuel directly into the engine.

However, under light load or at idle, a relatively high vacuum exists in the intake manifold. This means less fuel pressure is needed to spray a given volume of fuel through the injector. Under heavy load, engine vacuum drops to near zero.

Therefore, An engine with an electronic fuel injection system has high fuel pressure at idle because of  high manifold vacuum.

In which of the following substances would convection most likely occur?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Air and ice

Explanation:

convection, process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.

Everyday Examples of Convection:

radiator - A radiator puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

steaming cup of hot tea - The steam you see when drinking a cup of hot tea indicates that heat is being transferred into the air.

ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.
