Two loudspeakers are located 3.0 m apart on the stage of an auditorium. A listener at point P is seated 19.0 m from one speaker

and 15.0 m from the other. A signal generator drives the speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The wave amplitude at P due to each speaker alone is A. The frequency is then varied between 30 Hz and 400 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency or frequencies will the listener at P hear a maximum intensity?

Answer:

The frequencies that the listener at P will hear a maximum intensity are: 85.75 Hz, 171.5 Hz, 257.25 Hz and 343 Hz.

Explanation:

Path Difference Δx is given as: nλ

where λ = \frac{v}{f}

Δx can be re-written as: n×\frac{v}{f}

where;

n = integer

v = speed of sound = 343 m/s

f = frequency

Δx  = 19.0 m - 15.0 m

Δx  = 4.0 m

4.0 m = \frac{n*343}{f}

f = \frac{n*343}{4}

f = n × 85.75 Hz

Now;  n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ; the frequencies that the listener at P will hear the maximum intensity will be

when n= 1

f = 1 × 85.75 Hz

f = 85.75 Hz

when n= 2

f = 2 × 85.75 Hz

f = 171.5 Hz

when n= 3

f = 3  × 85.75 Hz

f = 257.25 Hz

when n= 4

f = 4 × 85.75 Hz

f = 343 Hz

∴ the frequencies that the listener at P will hear the maximum intensity will be : 85.75 Hz, 171.5 Hz, 257.25 Hz and 343 Hz for n =1,2,3, and 4 respectively.

Which of the following best describes entropy
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of the surroundings. Simply put, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. Since ΔH is negative in an exothermic reaction, this must mean that ΔS will take on a positive value, indicating an increase in entropy.

The main water line enters a house on the first floor. The line has a gauge pressure of 1.94 x 105 Pa. (a) A faucet on the secon
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer

given,

gauge pressure =   1.94 x 10⁵ Pa

Pressure due to 4.90 m column of water

= ρ g h

= (4.90) x  (1000)  x (9.8) Pa

= 48020 Pa

Gauge pressure of second floor faucet

= 1.94 x 10⁵Pa - 48020 Pa

P_g= 145980 Pa

( b )

Let h = height of faucet from which no water can flow even if open

P = ρ g h

1.94 x 10⁵  = h x(1000) x (9.8)

h = 19.79 m

Answer:

Energy is the ability for an object to do work.

Kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses while in motion.

Stored Energy = Potential Energy.

Speed is a measurement of how quickly something is able to move or operate.
