How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

A ball is launched at an angle of 39.8 degrees up from the horizontal, with a muzzle velocity of 6.6 meters per second, from a l
Burka [1]

Answer:

1.85 m

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

v_x = v cos \theta = (6.6 m/s) cos 39.8^{\circ}=5.1 m/s

The horizontal distance travelled is

d = 2.7 m

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, the time taken is

t= \frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{2.7 m}{5.1 m/s}=0.53 s

The vertical position of the ball is given by

y= h + u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 1 m is the initial heigth

u_y = v sin \theta = (6.6 m/s) sin 39.8^{\circ}=4.2 m/s is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.82 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting t = 0.53 s, we find the height of the ball at this time:

y=1 m + (4.2 m/s)(0.53 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.82 m/s^2)(0.53 s)^2=1.85 m

Compare and Contrast How is a tug - of - war similar to unequal sharing of electron
laiz [17]
Imagine that the two atoms are playing tug of war with the electron, but one is pulling with a stronger force than the other. This inequality results in the majority of the rope being pulled toward the stronger atom. In the bond, the electron is pulled closer to the stronger atom too. This results in each side having a partial charge, one being more negative than the other.

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />
