Two loudspeakers are located 4.965 m apart on an outdoor stage. A listener is 12.608 m from one and 18.368 m from the other. Dur

ing the sound check, a signal generator drives the two speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The transmitted frequency is swept through the audible range (20 Hz to 20 kHz). What is the lowest frequency that gives minimum signal (destructive interference) at the listener’s location? The air temperature is 25.0 degrees Celsius.

Answer:

Approximately 30.0\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

Look up the speed of sounds in the air at 25\; ^\circ\rm C: v \approx 346\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Let the frequency of this tune be f\; \rm Hz. The wavelength of the tune would be \displaystyle \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \approx \frac{346}{f}.

The distance between the first speaker and the listener is 12.608\; \rm m. How many wavelengths can fit into that distance?

\displaystyle \frac{12.608}{\lambda} \approx \frac{12.608}{346 / f} = \frac{12.608}{346} \cdot f.

Similarly, the distance between the second speaker and the listener is 18.368\; \rm m. Number of wavelengths in that distance:

\displaystyle \frac{18.368}{\lambda} \approx \frac{18.368}{346 / f} = \frac{18.368}{346} \cdot f.

Difference between these two numbers:

\begin{aligned} &\frac{18.368}{346} \cdot f - \frac{12.608}{346} \cdot f = \frac{5.76}{346}\cdot f\end{aligned}.

For destructive interference to occur, that difference should be equal to \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}, \displaystyle 1 + \frac{1}{2}= \frac{3}{2}, \cdots, or  \displaystyle \left(k+ \frac{1}{2}\right) in general (k can be any non-negative whole number.)

Let \begin{aligned} \frac{5.76}{346}\cdot f = k + \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}, and solve for f.

\begin{aligned} f&= \left.\left(k + \frac{1}{2}\right) \right/\frac{5.76}{346}\\ &= \frac{346}{5.76} \, k + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{346}{5.76} \\ &\approx 60.1\, k + 30.0 \end{aligned}.

The next step is to find the values of k that ensure 20 \le f \le 20\times 10^{3} (frequency is between 20\; \rm Hz and 20\, \rm kHz.) It turns out that k = 0 (the smallest k value possible) would be sufficient. In that case, the frequency is approximately 30.0\; \rm Hz. Using a larger k would only increase the frequency.

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

        P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of ​​the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

         P_{atm} + ρ g y₁ = P_{atm} + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

         ½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

        v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

        v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?
SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

R=\frac{V}{I}

Substitute the values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}
