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

Answer:

0 Joules

Explanation:

The work done is given by

W=F\times s\times cos\theta

where,

F = Force applied

s = Displacement of the object = 0 m

\theta = Angle between the force applied and the horizontal = 0

W=F\times 0\times cos0\\\Rightarrow W=0\ J

Work is only observed when there is a displacement.

The work done by me is 0 Joules as I was unable to move it.

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

Which of the following is a form of pollution created when vehicle exhaust interacts with sunlight?
SVEN [57.7K]

Photochemical smog is formed when primary air pollutants interact with sunlight.

Photochemical smog is the result of the reaction between pollutants like  nitrogen oxides (NO), sunlight and volatile organic compound (VOC) in the atmosphere. The sources of NO are car exhaust, coal power plants, factory emissions, etc. This type of smog is also known by the name Los Angeles smog.

Air pollutants are the particles present dissolved in the air, which when inhaled by the organisms can cause serious health issues. These pollutants are :ozone, particulate matter, gaseous oxides, etc. These pollutants majorly affect the respiratory system of the humans.

Therefore, photochemical smog is a form of pollution created when vehicle exhaust interacts with sunlight.
