An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Out

side the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 610 Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.840 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s

Answer:

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Explanation:

v = 340m/s = speed of sound

f = 610Hz

d = 0.840m

λ = ?

Mλ = wsinθ

m = mth order minima

λ = wavelength incident on the single slit

θ = angular position of the mth minima

But, λ = v / f

λ = 340 / 610 = 0.557m

θ = sin⁻(mλ/d)

θ = sin⁻ [(1 * 0.557) / 0.840]

θ = sin⁻ 0.6635

θ = 41.57°

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

The x and y components of vector S are -30.0 m and +40.0 m, respectively. Find the magnitude of S and the angle between the dire
34kurt

Answer:

The given vector can be represented in unit vector as

\overrightarrow{w}=-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}

The magnitude of any vector \overrightarrow{r}=u\widehat{i}+v\widehat{j} is given by

|w|=\sqrt{u^{2}+v^{2}}

Applying values we get

|w|=\sqrt{-30^{2}+40^{2}}\\\\|r|=50

We know that positive x axis in vertorial form is represented as

\overrightarrow{r}=\widehat{i}

taking dot product of both the vector's we get

\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{w}=|r||w|cos(\theta )\\\\\therefore cos(\theta )=\frac{(-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}).\widehat{i}}{50}\\\\\therefore \theta =cos^{-1}(\frac{-30}{50})=126.86^{o}

What is the wavenumber of the stretching vibrational mode for the CO molecule, given that the force constant of the bond is 680
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1.10134 * 10⁻⁹m⁻¹

Explanation:

K = 680Nm⁻¹

μ = ?

μ = (m₁ + m₂) / m₁m₂

compound = CO

C = 12.0 g/mol = 0.012kg/mol

O = 16.0g/mol = 0.016kg/mol

μ = (m₁ + m₂) / m₁m₂

μ = (0.012 + 0.016) / (0.012*0.016) = 145.83

v = 1/2πc * √(k/μ)

ν = 1/ 2*3.142* 3.0*10⁸ * √(630/145.83)

v = 5.30*10⁻¹⁰ * 2.078

v = 1.10134*10⁻⁹m⁻¹

What is the relationship between amplitude and volume?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sound moves in the form of waves. The amplitude is the distance between the highest and the lowest point of a wave.  In this way the amplitude indicates the amount of energy that a sound signal contains.

Intensity is the amount of acoustic energy that a sound contains. Intensity is measured in decibels. Volume is a measure of the energy that a signal carries, being a magnitude of intensity.

In this way it is possible to say that the energy of a signal is closely related to its amplitude, but its development over time is also important.

The tone or height is the quality that distinguishes between a high or low sound and a low or high sound.

The function x = (1.2 m) cos[(3πrad/s)t + π/5 rad] gives the simple harmonic motion of a body. At t = 9.7 s, what are the (a) di
nlexa [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Let:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t+ \phi)

The equation representing a simple harmonic motion, where:

x=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}equilibrium\hspace{3}point\\A=Amplitude \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} motion\\\omega= Angular \hspace{3}frequency\\\phi=Initial\hspace{3} phase\\t=time

As you may know the derivative of the position is the velocity and the derivative of the velocity is the acceleration. So we can get the velocity and the acceleration by deriving the position:

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt} =- \omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\\\a(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt} =- \omega^2 A cos(\omega t + \phi)

Also, you may know these fundamental formulas:

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} \\\\T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}

Now, using the previous information and the data provided by the problem, let's solve the questions:

(a)

x(9.7)=1.2 cos((3 \pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx -0.70534m

(b)

v(9.7)=-(3\pi) (1.2) sin((3\pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx 9.1498 m/s

(c)

a(9.7)=-(3 \pi)^2(1.2)cos((3\pi*(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} )\approx -62.653m/s^2

(d)

We can extract the phase of the motion, the angular frequency and the amplitude from the equation provided by the problem:

\phi = \frac{\pi}{5}

(e)

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} =\frac{3\pi}{2 \pi} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5 Hz

(f)

T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} =\frac{2 \pi}{3 \pi} =\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667s
