1.

Answer:

\Delta x = 0.25 m

Explanation:

Initially the two sound producing speakers are in same phase.

so here the distance between them must be equal to the half of the wavelength.

So here we will have

f = 686 hz

speed of sound wave

v = 340 m/s

now we have

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

\lambda = \frac{340}{686} = 0.496 m

now the distance between two sources for destructive interference will be given as

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.25 m

2.

Answer:

\Delta x = 0.25 m

Explanation:

Initially the two sound producing speakers are out of phase.

so here the distance between them must be equal to the half of the wavelength for producing constructive interference.

So here we will have

f = 686 hz

speed of sound wave

v = 340 m/s

now we have

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

\lambda = \frac{340}{686} = 0.496 m

now the distance between two sources for constructive interference will be given as

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.25 m

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at 20^0\ C is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

v=f\times \lambda

d=\dfrac{v}{2f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}

d=0.25\ m

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

d=n\lambda  ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, d=\dfrac{v}{f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}

d=0.5\ m

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.

A 0.5 m diameter wagon wheel consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7 kg and six spokes, each with a mass of 1.2 kg. 1.2 kg 7 k
Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg

Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg

Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m

Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m

Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.

We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :

I_1=m_1r^2

I_1=7\times (0.25)^2=0.437\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2l^2}{3}

l = r

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{3}

I_2=\dfrac{1.2\times (0.25)^2}{3}=0.025\ kgm^2

For 6 spokes, I_2=0.025\times 6=0.15\ kgm^2

So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :

I=I_1+I_2

I=0.437+0.15=0.587\ kgm^2

So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is 0.587\ kgm^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg ball 15 m in the air?
oee [108]

Answer:

<h2>300 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 2 × 10 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>300 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
