A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

lected by walls, and return. The hallway is 46.0 m long and the tuning fork is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference between the reflected waves(in degrees) when they meet at the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. [answer 68.2°] Pls show steps

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})

Put the value into the formula

\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)

\Delta x=36\ m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}

\lambda=1.42\ m

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36

\phi=159.29\ rad

\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

When the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between
mrs_skeptik [129]

The new gravitational attraction will be 1/4 as much

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, the original force between the two objects is F, when they are separated by a distance r.

Later, the distance between the two objects is doubled, so the new distance is

r'=2r

Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=\frac{F}{4}

Therefore, the new force will be one-fourth as much.

Question 7 Points 2
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The dynamo has a wheel that touches the back tyre. As the bicycle moves, the wheel turns a magnet inside a coil. This induces enough electricity to run the bicycle's lights. The faster the bicycle moves, the greater the induced voltage - and the brighter the lights.

Se aplican dos fuerzas concurrentes a un objeto de 4N a la derecha y 5N a la izquierda. ¿Hacia donde se movió y con cuanta fuerz
Maksim231197 [3]

The forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

Given the following

Force towards the right = 4N

Force towards the left = 5N

Note that the force acting towards the left is negative, hence the force acting towards the left is -5N

Take the sum of force

Resultant force = -5N + 4N

Resultant force = -1N

This shows that the forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke
