A flower pot is knocked off a window ledge from a height d = 22.0 m above the sidewalk as shown in the figure below. It falls toward an unsuspecting man of height h = 1.79 m who is standing below. Assume the man requires a time interval of At = 0.300 s to respond to the warning. How close to the sidewalk can the flower pot fall before it is too late for a warning shouted from the balcony to reach the man in time? 13.50 Try approaching the problem in terms of the time at which the shout must occur and then use this to determine the distance. m Need Help?

A gun is fired from the ground with a muzzle velocity of 330m/s at an angle of 25˚ with thehorizontal. How long does a man hear the sound that is 1km away from the shooting? Assumethat sound travels linearly at 250m/s.
You are watching an old, rickety bridge being detonated, making way for a newer, safer, design. You see the bridge detonate first and you hear the sound of the explosion four seconds later. How far away from the bridge were you standing? Assume the speed of sound is 345 m/s and constant (that is, vf = vi).
One clue used by your brain to determine the direction of a source of sound is the time delay t between the arrival of the sound at the ear closer to the source and the arrival at the farther ear.Assume that the source is distant so that a wavefront from it is approximately planar when it reaches you, and let D represent the separation between your ears. (a) If the source is located at angle u in front of you , what is in terms of D and the speed of sound v in air? (b) If you are submerged in water and the sound source is directly to your right, what is t in terms of D and the speed of sound vw in water? (c) Based on the time-delay clue, your brain interprets the submerged sound to arrive at an angle u from the forward direction. Evaluate u for fresh water at 20C.
Trying to determine its depth, a rock climber drops a pebble into a chasm and hears the pebble strike the ground 3.245 later. (a) If the speed of sound in air is343 m/sat the rock climber's location, what is the depth of the chasm? (b) What is the percentage of error that would result from assuming the speed of sound is infinize?
You drop a stone down a well. You hear the splash 2.23 s later. How deep is the well? The speed of sound in air is 343m/s. Please show reasoning and diagram as well
a stone is thrown vertically upward over the top of the wall with a velocity of 21 m/s and the splash is heard in 5.05 seconds. If the velocity of sound is constant at 350 m/s, determine the depth of the wall
Trying to determine its depth, a rock climber drops a pebble into a chasm and hears the pebble strike the ground 3.46 s later.(a) If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s at the rock climber's location, what is the depth of the chasm? ?m (b) What is the percentage of error that would result from assuming the speed of sound is infinite? ?%
What is the displacement of the particle for the entire 23 seconds?
Sound produced by a thunderstorm is heard 10 s after the lightning is seen. Calculate the approximate distance of the thunder cloud. (Given speed of sound = 340 m/s)
A person is standing 20 meters away from a wall. They clap their hands, creating a sound that travels at a speed of 343 meters per second in air. How long does it take for the sound to reach the wall and then come back to the person? Hint: Consider the round trip distance traveled by the sound.
What is the displacement of the object at t=16?
A supersonic jet traveling at Mach 2.00 at an altitude of h = 21,000 m is directly over a person at time t = 0 as shown in the figure below. Assume the average speed of sound in air is 335 m/s over the path of the sound. (a) At what time will the person encounter the shock wave due to the sound emitted at t = 0? Answer in s (b) Where will the plane be when this shock wave is heard? (Give the plane's horizontal displacement x.) Answer in km
