Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, play the same 220-Hz note for the conductor who is directly

in front of them. What is the smallest non-zero separation that produces constructive interference?

Answer:

d= 1.56 m

Explanation:

In order to have a constructive interference, the path difference between the sources of the sound, must be equal to an even multiple of the semi-wavelength, as follows:

⇒ d = d₂ - d₁ = 2n*(λ/2)

The minimum possible value for this distance, is when n=1, as it can be seen here:

dmin = λ

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

v = λ*f

If v = vsound = 343 m/s, and f = 220 1/s, we can solve for λ:

λ =\frac{v}{f} =  \frac{343 m/s}{220(1/s)} = 1.56 m

⇒ dmin =λ = 1.56 m

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.

A wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th
garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s =  4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m =  2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
