Mr. Daryl is giving an announcement, and he can be heard up to 30m. If you are standing 35m east and 25m south of Mr. Daryl, will you be able to hear his announcement? a. Yes, because I am only about 18.02 meters away from him. b. No, because I am about 43.01 meters away from him. C. Yes, because I am only about 25 meters away from him. d. No, because I am about 35 meters away from him.

(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
A sound wave propagates in air at 27C with frequency 4.00 kHz. It passes through a region where the temperature gradually changes and then moves through air at 0C. Give numerical answers to the following questions to the extent possible and state your reasoning about what happens to the wave physically. (a) What happens to the speed of the wave? (b) What happens to its frequency? (c) What happens to its wavelength?
Standing at the base of one of the cliffs of Mt. Arapiles in Victoria, Australia, a hiker hears a rock break loose from a height of 105.0 in. He can’t see the rock right away, but then does, 1.50 s later. (a) How far above the hiker is the rock when he can hear it? (b) How much time does he have to move before the rock hits his head?
A sound wave is modeled with the wave function P=1.20Pasin(kx6.28104s1t) and the sound wave travels in air at a speed of v=343.00 m/s. (a) What is the wave number of the sound wave? (b) What is the value for P(3.00 m, 20.00 s)?
= 424 m away. How long (in s) until the dolphin hears an echo? Assume the water temperature is 25°C, and While floating in the ocean, a dolphin emits a sound wave directed toward the hull of an ocean liner d the speed of sound in the water is 1,533 m/s. S
3. The VE3KBR transmitter near Tokyo broadcasts on a frequency of 146.940 MHz. The transmitter is broadcasting a test sound that is picked up by a nearby amateur radio. The test sound has a frequency of 1 kHz and a wavelength of 33 cm. a) What is the wavelength of the transmitter’s radio wave (in metres)? b) What is the speed of the sound wave that is coming out of the radio (in m/s)?
2. In still air, with a speed of sound, v=340.0 m /s, you are driving directly toward a flat cliff facing the direction of travel. The flat cliff reflects the sound of your horn which emits at f = 512.0Hz . You hear the reflected sound of your horn and the frequency is fr = 623.3Hz . A What is the speed of your car, v, in km / h? A
The speed (v) at which sound travels through air is dependent upon the temperature of the air and seems to follow the equation v = 331 m/s + 0.6 m/s/°C * T where T is the Celsius temperature of the air. Determine the speed of sound …a. … on a cold day when the outdoor temperature is 4°C.b. … inside the school where the temperature is 24°C.c. … on a warm day when the outdoor temperature is 38°C.
Caitlin is out in her speedboat on the lake with her friends Peter and Selvana in a dense fog even though she knows better. Her friends convince her that the jumping rocks are worth it. She approaches a large jumping cliff. Because she is a master physics student, Caitlin assumes the speed of sound to be 343 m/s. How far away from the cliff is her boat? a) 4.1 m Ob) 344 m Oc) 2.4 m d) 412 m

A deep sea ocean vessel uses SONAR to detect the ocean's bottom. Sound waves are emitted from the surface of the ocean and travel through the water at 1450 m/s. The ocean bottom is 1630 m below the surface. Determine the amount of time that passes before the sound waves are reflected back to the surface.
