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.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
  • distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
  • angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0

For the address and we have:

-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0

The forces F_1 and F_2 are known

F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N

We have 2 unknowns (F_3 and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear F_3 from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}

Then

-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°

Then we find the value of F_3

F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from  

F1->

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.

if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?​
quester [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.
