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

How long does it take to change a flat plain into mountains?
ss7ja [257]
It would take millions of years to form a mountain as plates move very slowly and to form it first one plate should climb upon another. After this very slowly this hill will convert into a mountain.

alisha [4.7K]
<span>If you think about it, changing the scale to which something is measured does not affect the repeatability of the measurement. For instance, if you have a meter stick which was labeled incorrectly, that doesn't affect the fact that every measurement you take of a certain fixed distance will still be the same. Precision does not equal accuracy.</span>

Cold syrup flows sluggishly because of??​
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Water is very different from honey, syrup, glycerine, or oil. It pours easily and is not thick and sticky like the others. The property that determines how easily a liquid pours is called VISCOSITY. Water has a low viscosity; syrup has a high viscosity. Liquids with a high viscosity are said to be viscous.

Does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? Describe this peer pressure and tell whether it is positive or negativ
Alexxx [7]
Yes, peer pressure affects one's physical activity routine. It can do so both negatively and positively. For instance, if one is pressured to do drugs when around their peers, it would most likely lead to an addiction that lasts even when they are not with those people anymore. However, from a positive viewpoint, one's peers could also pressure them to do something productive, such as trying a new beneficial activity that they are afraid of (ex. trying out for a talent show.) This could lead to a disruption in routine as that individual would begin practicing for said talent show. Hence, peer pressure can be both negative and positive, but in both instances, it changes the routine of the individual effected.
