Two astronauts are 2.00 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electromagnetic waves. The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 360 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from the earth is the spaceship?

    1. The intensity of a particular earthquake wave is measured to be 1.60 x 106 W/m2 at a distance of 40.0 km from the source. What was the intensity when it passed a point only 1.00 km from the source? Assume that earthquake waves travel uniformly in all directions W/m2 2. The team monitoring a space probe exploring the outer solar system finds that radio transmissions from the probe take 2.10 hours to reach earth. How distant (in meters) is...

    (a) How far apart are two layers of tissue that produce echoes having round-trip times (used to measure distances) that differ by 0.528 µs? (Use 1540 m/s as the speed of sound through human tissue.)    If the distance between the two layers is d, how far does to sound of interest travel? What is the relationship between the distance the sound travels, the speed at which the sound travels and the time of travel? m (b) What minimum frequency...

    Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to trade. Astronaut 1 tosses the 0.125 kg apple toward astronaut 2 with a speed of vi,1 = 1.15 m/s . The 0.160 kg orange is tossed from astronaut 2 to astronaut 1 with a speed of 1.20 m/s . Unfortunately, the fruits collide, sending the orange off with a speed of 1.02 m/s in the negative y...

    When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 8.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 117 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far (in terms of...

    Two identical speakers are spaced 12 m apart, aimed toward each other. They each play a 171.5 Hz tone with the same phase constant. A. If you stand at the center point between the speakers, the result of superposition of the sound waves from the speakers is constructive inteference. Explain. B. How far must you move from the center toward one of the speakers in m to reach the next point of destructive interference?
