Two antennas located at points A and B are broadcasting radio waves of frequency 96.0 MHz, perfectly in phase with each other. T

he two antennas are separated by a distance d=9.30m. An observer, P, is located on the x axis, a distance x=57.0m from antenna A, so that APB forms a right triangle with PB as hypotenuse. What is the phase difference between the waves arriving at P from antennas A and B?
Now observer P walks along the x axis toward antenna A. What is P's distance from A when he first observes fully destructive interference between the two waves?

Answer:

a)   Δφ = 1.51 rad , b)  x = 21.17 m

Explanation:

This is an interference problem, as they indicate that the distance AP is on the x-axis the antennas must be on the y-axis, the phase difference is

          Δr /λ = Δfi / 2π

          Δfi = Δr /λ 2π

          Δr = r₂-r₁

let's look the distances

         r₁ = 57.0 m

We use Pythagoras' theorem for the other distance

         r₂ = √ (x² + y²)

         r₂ = √(57² + 9.3²)

         r₂ = 57.75 m

The  difference is

         Δr = 57.75 - 57.0

         Δr = 0.75 m

Let's look for the wavelength

        c =  λ f

          λ = c / f

          λ = 3 10⁸ / 96.0 10⁶

          λ = 3.12 m

Let's calculate

         Δφ = 0.75 / 3.12 2π

         Δφ = 1.51 rad

b) for destructive interference the path difference must be λ/2, the equation for destructive interference with φ = π remains

           Δr = (2n + 1) λ / 2

           

For the first interference n = 0

           Δr = λ / 2

           Δr = r₂ - r₁

We substitute the values

        √ (x² + y²) - x = 3.12 / 2

Let's solve for distance x

          √ (x² + y²) = 1.56 + x

          x² + y² = (1.56 + x)²

          x² + y² = 1.56² + 2 1.56 x + x²

          y2 = 20.4336 +3.12 x

          x = (y² -20.4336) /3.12

          x = (9.3² -20.4336) /3.12

          x = 21.17 m

This is the distance for the first minimum

Which of the following are likely to be physical changes to an object?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The correct option is 'd': The change in shape of an object.

Explanation:

Since by definition physical change is defined as a change that changes only the form of an object or substance and producing no change in the chemical composition of the substance. Physical changes are reversible in nature.

As we can see from all the options the change in the shape of the object is a reversible change as we can always remold any substance in any shape, thus it confirms to a physical change.

The change in the molecular composition of an object is a hallmark of a chemical reaction thus indicates a chemical change.

The smell change in an object is an indication of a chemical change in the object hence is not a physical change.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2

I=534.375\ kg m^2

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2

K.E=46880620.9\ J

K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J

K.E =46.88\ MJ

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel  would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}

t=4189.45\ sec

t=1.163\ hours

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in  the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve
Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision  = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2

v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s
