Explanation:

Echoes occur due to the reflection of sound from any obstacle, but not all the reflected sound waves lead to the phenomenon of echo. For the echo to be heard it actually depends upon the human perception as well, human ears can encounter the difference between the sound wave directly form the source and the reflected sound waves only if there is a minimum time gap of one-tenth of a second. For this time gap in the atmosphere at normal temperature and pressure the obstacle must be at least 7 meters away from the sound source.

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is beats means and its equation​
Debora [2.8K]
When a crest-trough meet the interference produced will be destructive in nature hence they both will cancel out and the amplitude produced will be equal to zero hence the loudness will reduce to zero.

Examine the scenario.
zhannawk [14.2K]

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

an example of this is lightning because the positive electrons on/in the earth are attracted to the negative electrons in the clouds and sky so the positive move to the negative charge.
