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:

a)   x₀ = - 2 m  , b)     y = 4.47 m

Explanation:

A wave travels in the middle with constant speed, let's use the equation of uniform motion

    v = d / t

    t = d / v

The distance to the first listeners, see attached

    d₁ = x₀-x

     t = (x₀ +7) / v

The distance to the second listener

    d₂ = x - x₀

     t = (+ 3- x₀) / v

As the wave arrives at the same time, we can equal the two equations

     (x₀ +7) / v = (3 -x₀) / v

      x₀ + 7 = 3 - x₀

      2 x₀ = 3 - 7

      x₀ = -4/2

      x₀ = - 2 m

b) The time it takes for the wave to reach the listeners of the x-axis, where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          t = 5/340

          t = 0.0147 s

Let's look for the distance the wave travels for the listener axis and

       v = d₃ / t

       d₃ = v.t

       d₃ = 340 * 0.0147

       d₃ = 5 m

For the distance component we use the Pythagorean triangle

      d₃² = x₀² + y²

      y² = d₃² - x₀²

     y = √ (d₃² -4)

      y = √ (5² -4)

     y = 4.47 m

A car goes from rest to a velocity of 108 km/h north in 10s what is the car's acceleration in m/s2
fomenos

initial velocity of the car given as

v_i = 0

final velocity is given as

v_f = 108 km/h

as we know that

1 km/h = 0.277 m/s

now we can convert final speed into m/s

v_f = 108 * 0.277 = 30 m/s

now acceleration is rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{30 - 0}{10}

a = 3 m/s^2

so the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s^2

A car with a total mass of 1800 kg (including passengers) is driving down a washboard road with bumps spaced 4.9 m apart. The ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m

Explanation:

First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:

w² = k/m

Solving for k:

k = w²*m

To get the angular velocity:

w = 2πf

The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:

f = V/x

f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz

Now the angular velocity:

w = 2π*1.16

w = 7.29 rad/s

Finally, solving for k:

k = (7.29)² * 1800

k = 95,659.38 N/m

In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m

Which statements describe both male and female reproductive systems? Check all that apply. A:The reproductive system produces ho
Scilla [17]

Answer: A:The reproductive system produces hormones.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.

Explanation:

A:The reproductive system produces hormones. : The reproductive organs ovaries in females and testes in males produces hormones. The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone and testes produce testosterone.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. : The ovaries in females transfers an egg into the fallopian tube and testes in males secrete sperms at the time of copulation the fertilization of egg and sperm leads to the development of zygote the precursor of new life.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.: The ovaries undergo oogenesis and in testes spermatogenesis takes place to develop egg and sperms respectively.

(1 point) A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 new
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)

Explanation:

A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 2 m/sec, find the position of the mass after t seconds.

Solution. Let x(t) denote the position of the mass at time t. Then x satisfies the differential equation  

m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} +kx=0

Definition of parameters  

m=mass 3kg

k=force constant

e=extension ,m

ω =angular frequency

k=90/1.6=56.25N/m

ω^2=k/m= 56.25/1.6

ω^2=35.15625

ω=5.929

General solution will be

x(t)=c1cos(ωt)+c2Sin(ωt)

x(t)=c1cos(5.929t)+c2Sin(5.929t)

differentiating x(t)

dx(t)=-5.929c1sin(5.929t)+5.929c2cos(5.929t)

when x(0)=0, gives c1=0

dx(t0)=2m/s gives c2=0.337

Therefore, the position of the mass after t seconds is  

x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)
