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
Because of the position on the equator, the change in rotation of the Earth on its axis throughout the year doesn't affect it much. Unlike the poles, Quito is almost constantly in direct view of the sun. So, because of lack of change in rotation, the daylight hours are hardly varied as Quito is almost constantly in more or less the same spot in relation to the sun.
