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
The mass needed at peg 1 is a 5g mass.
The 15g should hang at peg 5.
The reason is force x distance clockwise is equal to force x distance anti-clockwise
Answer:
A vacuum
Explanation:
Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.
For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.
Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:
a vacuum
represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
