Answer:
a) The distance of spectator A to the player is 79.2 m
b) The distance of spectator B to the player is 43.9 m
c) The distance between the two spectators is 90.6 m
Explanation:
a) Knowing the time it takes the sound to reach both spectators, we can calculate their position relative to the player, using this equation:
x = v * t
where:
x = position of the spectators
v = speed of sound
t = time
Then, the position for spectator A relative to the player is:
x = 343 m/s * 0.231 s = 79.2 m
b)For spectator B:
x = 343 m/s * 0.128 s
x = 43.9 m
The distance of spectator A and B to the player is 79.2 m and 43.9 m respectively.
c) To calculate the distance between the spectators, please see the attached figure. Notice that the distance between the spectators is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the sightline of both. We already know the longitude of the two sides. Then, using Pythagoras theorem:
(Distance AB)² = A² + B²
(Distance AB)² = (79.2 m)² + (43.9 m)²
Distance AB = 90. 6 m
Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
Since the result needs to be accurate to three significant figures, keep at least four significant figures in the calculations.
Look up the Rydberg constant for hydrogen:
.
Look up the speed of light in vacuum:
.
Look up Planck's constant:
.
Apply the Rydberg formula to find the wavelength
(in vacuum) of the photon in question:
.
The frequency of that photon would be:
.
Combine this expression with the Rydberg formula to find the frequency of this photon:
.
Apply the Einstein-Planck equation to find the energy of this photon:
.
(Rounded to three significant figures.)
The goal of scientific method is to produce public knowledge. That is knowledge available to any person with sufficient education, all such knowledge can be verified by or deduced from experiments and observations.
Explanation:
Calculating acceleration is complicated if both speed and direction are changing or if you want to know acceleration at any given instant in time. However, it’s relatively easy to calculate average acceleration over a period of time when only speed is changing. Then acceleration is the change in velocity (represented by Δv) divided by the change in time (represented by Δt):
acceleration=ΔvΔt
