There was an accident and NASA engineers are
trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers
(named 'Tango' and 'Foxtrot') have landed. The
engineers know that landing site A is much hotter
than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only
working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure
the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed
of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while
Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at
its landing site, where has each rover landed?
Tango landed at site A while Foxtrot landed
at site B.
Tango landed at site B while Foxtrot landed
at site A.
Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site A.
O Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site B.

- During a thunderstorm, a frightened child is soothed by learning to estimate the distance to a lightning strike by counting the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder (Fig. P2.25). The speed vs of sound in air depends on the air temperature, but assume the value is 343 m/s. The speed of light c is 3.00 108 m/s. a. A child sees the lightning and then counts to eight slowly before hearing the thunder. Assume the light travel time is negligible. Estimate the distance to the lightning strike. b. Using your estimate in part (a), find the light travel time. Is it fair to neglect the light travel time? c. Think about how time was measured in this problem. Is it fair to neglect the difference between the speed of sound in cold air (vs at 0C = 331.4 m/s) and the speed of sound in very warm air (vs at 40C = 355.4 m/s)?arrow_forwardA riverside warehouse has several small doors facing the river. Two of these doors are open as shown in Figure P27.17. The walls of the warehouse are lined with sound-absorbing material. Two people stand at a distance L = 150 in from the wall with the open doors. Person A stands along a line passing through the midpoint between the open doors, and person B stands a distance y = 20 m to his side. A boat o the river sounds its horn. To person A, the sound is loud and clear. To person B, the sound is barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is 5.00 m. Assuming person B is at the position of the first minimum, determine the distance d between the doors, center to center.arrow_forwardDuring a 4th of July celebration, an M80 firework explodes on the ground, producing a bright flash and a loud bang. The air temperature of the night air is TF=90.00F . Two observers see the flash and hear the bang. The first observer notes the time between the flash and the bang as 1.00 second. The second observer notes the difference as 3.00 seconds. The line of sight between the two observers meet at a right angle as shown below. What is the distance x between the two observers?arrow_forward
- 19. Your roommate is playing a video game from the latest CR Star Wars movie while you are studying physics. Distracted by the noise, you go to see what is on the screen. The game involves trying to fly a spacecraft through a crowded field of asteroids in the asteroid belt around the Sun. You say to him, "Do you know that the game you are playing is very unrealistic? The asteroid belt is not that crowded and you don't have to maneuver through it like that!" Distracted by your statement, he accidentally allows his spacecraft to strike an asteroid, just missing the high score. He turns to you in disgust and says, "Yeah, prove it." You say, "Okay, I've learned recently that the highest concentration of asteroids is in a doughnut-shaped region between the Kirkwood gaps at radii of 2.06 AU and 3.27 AU from the Sun. There are an estimated 10° asteroids of radius 100 m or larger, like those in your video game, in this region ..."

- Increased shipping represents a global threat to marine life. A phenomenon known as the bow null-effect can cause acoustic shadows around ships effectively masking their engine noise in some directions. A Dolphin swimming horizontally at a velocity of 3.50 m/s near the surface of the ocean tracks a prey fish by emitting a 55.0 kHz series of click-like sound. The sound reflects from the bow of a ship directly in front of the Dolphin. The ship is moving at a velocity of 11.5 m/s on an intercept course with the oncoming Dolphin. The speed of sound in sea water is approximately 1530m/s. Find: a) the wavelength of the sound emitted by the Dolphin, b) the frequency of the reflected sound. c) If it takes 14.5 ms for the Dolphin to hear the sound reflected from the boat bow, how far away is the boat?arrow_forward1. In still air, with a speed of sound, v= 343.0m/s, a source of sound A is moving directly toward a reflecting surface B. Reflecting surface B is moving directly away from source A.
