Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where l

ow frequency sound is originating from. (a) Suppose a low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 18 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear

Answer:

Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms

Explanation:

The simple formula of the distance covered in uniform motion can be used to find the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear.

\Delta s = v\Delta t\\\\\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{v}

where,

Δt = required time interval = ?

Δs = distance between ears = 18 cm = 0.18 m

v = speed of sound = 340 m/s

Therefore,

\Delta t = \frac{0.18\ m}{340\ m/s}

<u>Δt = 5.29 x 10⁻⁴ s = 0.529 ms</u>

Which of these systems is an oscillator? A. A barrel rolling down the hill B. A child sitting on a swing a skater falling on the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option B:

A child sitting on a swing.

Explanation:

When we hear the word oscillator, a good example is the pendulum bob of a grandfather clock. We can picture the motion to get a perfect understanding of its path of motion and relate it to other systems of motion in our everyday life.

An oscillator is a system that moves in such a way that it reverses its direction after a period of time. It can be seen as a "to-and-fro" motion.

From the options, a child sitting on a swing is the perfect example of an oscillating system because the child will be moving forwards and backwards, alternately reversing the direction of motion with time.

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally
Tems11 [23]
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.

If an electron moves in a circle of radius 21 cm perpendicular to a B field of 0.4 T, what are the speed of the electron and the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a)

v = 4.048 *10^6 m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =  1.92 * 10^7

Explanation:

As we know

v =  \frac{qBr}{m}

q is the charge on the electron = 3.2 * 10^{-19} C

B is the magnetic field in Tesla = 0.4 T

r is the radius of the circle = 0.21 m

mass of the electrons = 6.64 * 10^{-27} Kg

a)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = \frac{3.2 * 10^{-19}*0.4*0.21}{6.64 * 10^{-27}} \\v = 4.048 *10^6m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =

\frac{4.048 * 10^6 }{0.21} \\1.92 * 10^7
