A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners

at x = -7.0 m and x = +3.0 m.part a) What is the x-coordinate of the source?part b) A third listener is positioned along the positive y-axis. What is her y-coordinate if the same wave front reaches her at the same instant it does the first two listeners?

Answer:

Explanation:

As the source is situated on x - axis , it must be situated in between the two listeners .

So the x coordinate of source is

(-7 + 3 )/2

= - 2 m

The equation of the wave- front will be that o a circle having centre at (-2,0)

and radius = distance between -2 and 3 , that is 5 m

equation of circle

=( x+2 )² + y² = 25

It cuts y axis when x = 0

Putting x = 0

4 + y² = 25

y² = 21

y = + √21 , or - √21

Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a slab of transparent material. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 39.9° wit
wariber [46]

Answer:

n=2.053

Explanation:

We will use Snell's Law defined as:

n_{1}*Sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}*Sin\theta_{2}

Where n values are indexes of refraction and \theta values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:

1*Sin(39.9)=n_{2}*Sin(18.2)

Solving for n_{2} yields:

n_{2}=\frac{Sin(39.9)}{Sin(18.2)}=2.053

Remember to use degrees for trigonometric functions instead of radians!

A certain alarm clock ticks four times each second, with each tick representing half a period. The balance wheel consists of a t
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

b. K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

a.

I = m*r^2

m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg

r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m

I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2

I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

b.

T=0.5 s

T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}

Solve to K'

K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}

K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m
