The interference produces 'beats' ... two new sounds
in addition to the original ones.

The frequencies of the beats are

-- the sum of the two original frequencies
and
-- the difference of the two original frequencies .

Technically, there are actually even more new sounds than that.
There are:
-- beats between the beats, and
-- beats between each beat and each of the original two sounds.
But their amplitudes are so low that they can be detected only with
sensitive equipment, and they can't be heard in the presence of
the two original sounds and the two 'first order' beats.

Beats.

When two sound waves of different frequency approach your ear, the alternating constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud - a phenomenon which is called "beating" or producing beats. The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves.

If an object went from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 1.7 seconds after a 10 N force was applied to it; what is the object's mass? No links p

Mashcka [7]

The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was

a = ∆v / ∆t = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²

By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force F is proportional to the acceleration a according to

F = m a

where m is the object's mass. Solving for m gives

m = F / a = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

 $t = 1.05s$
