Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

Two speakers placed 0.94 m apart produce pure tones in sync with each other at a frequency of 1630 Hz. A microphone can be moved

Alina [70]

Answer:

a. approximately $1.1\; \rm m$ (first minimum.)

b. approximately $2.2\; \rm m$ (first maximum.)

c. approximately $3.4\; \rm m$ (second minimum.)

d. approximately $4.7\; \rm m$ (second maximum.)

Explanation:

Let $d$ represent the separation between the two speakers (the two "slits" based on the assumptions.)

Let $\theta$ represent the angle between:

the line joining the microphone and the center of the two speakers, and
the line that goes through the center of the two speakers that is also normal to the line joining the two speakers.

The distance between the microphone and point $P_0$ would thus be $9.4\, \tan(\theta)$ meters.

Based on the assumptions and the equation from Young's double-slit experiment:

$\displaystyle \sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{path difference}}{d}$ .

Hence:

$\displaystyle \theta = \arcsin \left(\frac{\text{path difference}}{d}\right)$ .

The "path difference" in these two equations refers to the difference between the distances between the microphone and each of the two speakers. Let $\lambda$ denote the wavelength of this wave.

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{c|c} & \text{Path difference} \\ \cline{1-2}\text{First Minimum} & \lambda / 2 \\ \cline{1-2} \text{First Maximum} & \lambda \\\cline{1-2} \text{Second Minimum} & 3\,\lambda / 2 \\ \cline{1-2} \text{Second Maximum} & 2\, \lambda\end{array}$ .

Calculate the wavelength of this wave based on its frequency and its velocity:

$\displaystyle \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \approx 0.211\; \rm m$ .

Calculate $\theta$ for each of these path differences:

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{c|c|c} & \text{Path difference} & \text{approximate of $\theta$} \\ \cline{1-3}\text{First Minimum} & \lambda / 2 & 0.112 \\ \cline{1-3} \text{First Maximum} & \lambda & 0.226\\\cline{1-3} \text{Second Minimum} & 3\,\lambda / 2 & 0.343\\ \cline{1-3} \text{Second Maximum} & 2\, \lambda & 0.466\end{array}$ .

In each of these case, the distance between the microphone and $P_0$ would be $9.4\, \tan(\theta)$ . Therefore:

At the first minimum, the distance from $P_0$ is approximately $1.1\; \rm m$ .
At the first maximum, the distance from $P_0$ is approximately $2.2\; \rm m$ .
At the second minimum, the distance from $P_0$ is approximately $3.4\; \rm m$ .
At the second maximum, the distance from $P_0$ is approximately $4.7\;\rm m$ .
