Is it possible to add sound to a system to make it quieter?

Sure, but you have to be really fast.

First, you use a microphone to pick up the sound that's already there.  Then you generate a new wave that exactly copies the existing sound BUT it's a half wavelength (180 degrees) AFTER the original sound.

We know that if you have two waves with equal amplitudes, and they overlap, and the crest of one wave is on top of the trough of the other one, they cancel out and the result is NO WAVE.  So we overlap the new wave with the existing sound, and if we got the amplitude of the new one right, it can cancel out the original sound.

That's exactly what's going on in "noise canceling" headphones.

An observer that moves with an electrical charge senses:
Shtirlitz [24]

Here observer is moving along with an electrical charge

now magnetic field on a moving charge is given by equation

F = qvB sin\theta

electrical force on a moving charge is given by formula

F = qE

so here we can say when observer is moving with the charge it will have two forces on it

1. magnetic force due to existing magnetic field

2. electric force due to electric field

so here he must have to experience both type of field presence

So here correct answer must be

<em>C- electric and magnetic fields </em>

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s
