Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ng 5.50 m in front of one of the speakers perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound. What is the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between  loudspeakers = 2.00 m

Height = 5.50 m

Sound speed = 340 m/s

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AC^2=2.00^2+5.50^2

AC=\sqrt{(2.00^2+5.50^2)}

AC=5.85\ m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

\Delta x=AC-BC

Put the value into the formula

\Delta x=5.85-5.50

\Delta x=0.35\ m

We need to calculate the lowest possible frequency of sound

Using formula of frequency

f=\dfrac{nv}{\Delta x}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1\times340}{0.35}

f=971.4\ Hz

Hence, The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.

nika2105 [10]

The answer is C. that liquids and gases both take the shape of their container.  

Think of it this way, if you take an ice cube and put it in your glass, it will stay in its shape and stay that way until it melts.  But if you put liquid or a gas into a glass, it will take the shape of the glass that it is put into.

An object is thrown directly upwards from the ground at a velocity of 9ms. Recalling that the acceleration due to gravity is −gm
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Object is thrown with a velocity of u=9\ m/s

Acceleration due to gravity is -g (i.e. acting downward)

Vertical distance traveled by object is given by

v^2-u^2=2as  

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

at maximum height final velocity is zero

0-(9)^2=2\times (-g)\times (s)

s=\frac{81}{2g}=\frac{40.5}{g}\ m

time taken to reach maximum height

using

v=u+at

0=9-gt

t=\frac{9}{g}\ s
