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.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

4units

Explanation:

To calculate the total distance the beam will travel along this path, you will use the formula for calculating the distance between two coordinates expressed as;

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinate points

(3,5) and (7,5)

Substitute

D = √(7-3)²+(5-5)²

D = √(7-3)²+0²

D = √4²

D = √16

D = 4

Hence the total distance the beam will travel along this path is 4units

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential
Mariulka [41]
Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
