You are standing somewhere between Anderson Hall and Ahearn Field House when the loud bells in Anderson Hall Tower toll. After each bell from Anderson, there is an echo from Ahearn 6.00 s later. How far are you from Ahearn? Use 343 m/s for the speed of sound.
Here ,
time for the echo , t = 6 s
speed of sound , vs = 343 m/s
distance between Ahearn and person = speed * time /2
distance between Ahearn and person = 6 * 343/2
distance between Ahearn and person = 1029 m
the distance between Ahearn and person is 1029 m

A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.65 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.18 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in...
A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.35 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.09 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in...
On a hiking trip, you are walking through a canyon with vertical walls and are closer to one wall than the other. Having taken Physics, you decide to determine the width of the canyon by using your knowledge of kinematics and the speed of sound. You shout "Hey" as loud as you can, and after a short time you hear three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.5 safter the first, and the third echo arrives 0.9 s after the second....
A listener is standing in front of two speakers that are producingsound of the same freqencey and amplitude, except that they arevibrating out of phase. Initially, the distance between thelistener and each speaker is the same (see the drawing). As thelistener moves sideways, the sound intensity gradually changes.When the distance x in the drawing is 0.92m, the change reaches themaximum amount (either loud to soft, or soft to loud). Using thedata shown in the drawing and 343 m/s for the...
When the door of the Chapel of the Mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, is slammed shut, the last echo heard by someone standing just inside the door reportedly comes 23.0 s later, (a) If that echo were due to a single reflection off a wall opposite the door, how far from the door would that wall be? (b) If, instead, the wall is 25.9 m away, how many reflections (back and forth) correspond to the last echo? Assume the speed of...
When the door of the Chapel of the Mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, is slammed shut, the last echo heard by someone standing just inside the door reportedly comes 20.0 s later. (a) If that echo were due to a single reflection off a wall opposite the door, how far from the door would that wall be? (b) If, instead, the wall is 25.7 m away, how many reflections (back and forth) correspond to the last echo? Assume the speed of sound is 344 m/s.
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 520 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 430 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.) m/s
BLOCK 10: I.A listener is standing in front of two speakers that are producing sound of the same frequeney and amplitude, except that they are vibrating out of phase a. Initially, the listener is at the same distance from each speaker (see the drawing). So, Ax- Therefore ф- Midpoint0.92 m and we know A 4.00 m 1,50m 1.50m So, the soundwaves interfere (constructively/destructively) and the sound at the mid-point is (soft/loud) b. As the listener moves sideways, the sound intensity...
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 540 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 431 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
Standing at a crosswalk, you hear a frequency of 510 Hz from the siren of an approaching ambulance. After the ambulance passes, the observed frequency of the siren is 433 Hz. Determine the ambulance's speed from these observations. (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)
