Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. The time delay for the spectator A is 0.55 s, and for the spectator B it is 0.45 s. Sight lines from the two spectators to the player kicking the ball meet at an angle of 90°. The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.
How far are (a) spectator A and (b) spectator B from the player?
(c) How far are the spectators from each other?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)188.65m

b)154.35m

c)243.7m

Explanation:

Given data:

[tex]t_A=0.55s[/tex]

[tex]t_B=0.45s[/tex]

(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:

[tex]d_A=v \times t_A[/tex]

where,

v= speed of sound

[tex]t_A[/tex]=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

[tex]d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65[/tex]m

(b)[tex]d_B=v \times t_B[/tex]

where,

v= speed of sound

[tex]t_B[/tex]=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

[tex]d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m[/tex]

(c)As the angle b/w slight lines  from the two spectators to the player is right angle,

hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators

and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines

[tex]D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m[/tex]
