Which<br> factors will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?

Problem 1: Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructi

Anton [14]

1) Destructive interference

The condition for constructive interference to occur is:

$\delta = m\lambda$ (1)

where

$\delta =|d_1 -d_2|$ is the path difference, with

$d_1$ is the distance of the point from the first source

$d_2$ is the distance of the point from the second source

m is an integer number

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we have

$d_1 = 78.0 m\\d_2 = 143 m\\\lambda=26.0 m$

So let's use eq.(1) to see if the resulting m is an integer

$\delta =|78.0 m-143 m|=65 m\\m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{65 m}{26.0 m}=2.5$

It is not an integer so constructive interference does not occur.

Let's now analyze the condition for destructive interference:

$\delta = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$ (2)

If we apply the same procedure to eq.(2), we find

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=2$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

2) Constructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 91.0 m\\d_2 =221.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|91.0 m-221.0 m|=130.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{130.0 m}{26.0 m}=5$

Which is an integer, so this is a point of constructive interference.

3) Destructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 44.0 m\\d_2 =135.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|44.0 m-135.0 m|=91.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}=3.5$

This is not an integer, so this is not a point of constructive interference.

So let's use now the condition for destructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=3$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

Desde el balcón de un edificio se deja caer una manzana y llega a la planta baja en 5 s. ¿Desde qué piso se dejó caer, si cada p

miv72 [106K]

Answer: 42

Explanation:

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)

2. What process does water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain?

weqwewe [10]

The process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

<h3>What is water runoffs?</h3>

Water runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb.

The water flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or lakes.

Runoff can come from both natural processes and human activity.

When rain falls to the earth from clouds and runs downhill into rivers and lakes.

During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds.

<h3>What is precipitation?</h3>

Precipitation is any liquid (rain) or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth, for example it could fall on land or into lakes and rivers.

Thus, the process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.
