To ensure the results are not a mistake and to add credibility and validity to the results. A good theory can always be tested.

A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

Phoenix [80]

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$ (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
$F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N$
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
$F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N$

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
$F_x - F_f = ma$
$a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2$

Two speakers separated by a distance of 4.40 m emit sound. The speakers have opposite phase. A person listens from a location 3.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

f = 147.21 Hz

Explanation:

In order to have a destructive interference, as the source emit in opposite phases, the path difference between the distance to the person, measured in a straight line from the speakers, must be equal to an integer number of wavelengths.

We need to know the distance from the listener to the other speaker, located 4.4 m from the one which is directly in front of him, which we can find using Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

l₂ = √(3)²+(4.4)² = 5.33 m

The difference in path will be, then:

d = l₂-l₁ = 5.33 m - 3.00 m = 2.33 m

For the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference, the wavelength will be highest possible, which happens when the distance is just one wavelength.

⇒ d = λ = 2.33 m

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, as follows:

v = λ*f Κ ⇒ f = v/λ

Taking the speed of sound as 343 m/s, and solving for f, we get:

f= 343 m/s / 2.33 m = 147.21 Hz
