(c) How accurately (in nanoseconds) must you be able to measure the echo time to an airplane 12.0 km away to determine its distance within 10.0 m?arrow_forwardYou have decided to build your own speaker system for your home entertainment system. The system will consist of two loudspeakers: a large woofer, to which you want to send low audio frequencies (bass), and a small tweeter, which should receive high audio frequencies (treble). To separate the high and low frequencies of the audio signal, you build the crossover network shown in Figure P32.45. The input voltage is the audio output of the amplifier in your system, shown in the figure as an AC source. You have two outputs as shown: one across the resistor and one across the capacitor. (a) Across which element should you connect the woofer? (b) Across which element should you connect the tweeter? (c) To choose the appropriate values of R and C, you need to determine an expression for the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage as a function of angular frequency for the resistor as an output. (d) You need to determine a similar expression for the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage as a function of angular frequency for the capacitor as an output. Figure P32.45arrow_forward

The sound enters the water perpendicularly and travels a distance of 0.448 m before striking a 0.174-m-thick copper block lying on the bottom. The sound passes through the block, reflects from the bottom surface of the block, and returns to the top of the water along the same path. How much time elapses between when the sound enters and leaves the water?
