A speaker generates a continuous tone of 440 Hz. In the drawing, sound travels into a tube that splits into two segments, one lo

nger than the other. The sound waves recombine before being detected by a microphone. The speed of sound in air is 339 m/s. What is the minimum difference in the lengths of the two paths for sound travel if the waves arrive in phase at the microphone?

Answer:

The minimum difference between the lengths of the two tubes should be 0.385 meters.

Explanation:

As we known that for any two waves to arrive in phase at any point the difference in the path traveled by the waves should be an integral multiple of the wavelength of the wave.

Mathematically we can write:

\Delta x=n\frac{\lambda }{2}

For the given wave we have

\lambda =\frac{v}{\nu }

Applying values we get

\lambda =\frac{339}{440 }=0.77m

Thus the minimum difference in the lengths of the tubes can be obtained by putting the value of n = 1

\therefore \Delta x=1\times \frac{0.77}{2}=0.385m

Answer:

The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land.

Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.

Part a a calorimeter consists of an aluminum cup inside of an insulated container. The cup is weighed on a top-loading balance a
vovikov84 [41]

The change in heat q for the aluminum cup is 141 J.  

<h3>What is Specific heat?</h3>

A substance's heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase its overall temperature by one degree. The heat capacity is known as the specific heat capacity or the specific heat if the substance's mass is unity.

change in heat -

The amount of heat Q that is transported to create a temperature shift depends on the substance and phase involved, the mass of the system, and the magnitude of the temperature change. (A) The temperature change and the amount of heat transported are directly inversely related.

The answer's sign dig is determined by a calculation's lowest sign digits.

The solution will need 3 digits because the temperatures are provided with 3 significant digits and the specified heat has 3 significant digits (the mass has 4 significant digits).

31.91 g   * 0.903 J/g-C  *  (26.1 - 21.2 C) = 141 J

Two tiny conducting spheres are identical and carry charges of -18.8 µC and +46.5 µC. They are separated by a distance of 2.47 c
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

F=-12896N, attractive.

Explanation:

For calculating this force we use the Coulomb Law:

F=\frac{kq_1q_1}{r^2}

Where k=9\times10^9Nm^2/C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, q_1 and q_2 the values of each charge and r the distance between them.

Since the Coulomb's constant as I wrote it is in S.I. we have to write all the magnitudes in that system of units, and substitute:

F=\frac{(9\times10^9Nm^2/C^{-2})(-18.8\times10^{-6}C)(46.5\times10^{-6}C)}{(0.0247m)^2}=-12896N

This force is attractive since both charges are of opposite sign.
