Answer:

Explanation:

frequency, f = 240 hz

speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Let λ is the wavelength.

v = f x λ

343 = 240 x λ

λ = 1.43 m

The smallest separation for the destructive interference is given by

d = λ / 2

d = 1.43 / 2 = 0.71 m

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a. 12.12°

b. 412.04 N

Explanation:

Along vertical axis, the equation can be written as

T_1 sin14 + T_2sinA = mg

T_2sinA = mg - T_1sin12.5           ....................... (a)

Along horizontal axis, the equation can be written as

T_2×cosA = T_1×cos12.5    ......................... (b)

(a)/(b) given us

Tan A = (mg - T_1sin12.5) / T_1 cos12.5

 = (176 - 413sin12.5) / 413×cos12.5

A = 12.12 °

(b) T2 cosA = T1 cos12.5

T2 = 413cos12.5/cos12.12

= 412.04 N

Who came up with the theory of relativity?
liberstina [14]

Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels

Dos cargas iguales de 10^-7C estan separadas por una distancia de 2m. calcule la fuerza con que se repelen
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

F=2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N

Explanation:

According to question,

Charge 1 and charge 2 are 10^{-7}\ C

The distance between charges is 2 m

We need to find the force with which two positive charges repel. It is called electrostatic force of repulsion. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (10^{-7})^2}{2^2}\\\\F=2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N

So, the electric force of repulsion is 2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N.

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.
