5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground y_2, is given by

y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

or

v_0t = 10\:\text{m}

Solving for t, we get

t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}

Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength=\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}

=\frac{343}{78}=4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397    for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397

x=1.9015 m
