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.

at the extact same time, youj drop a piece of notebook paper and your science out the window. the science book hit first? why?
jeyben [28]
The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.

Answer:

    x_total = 600 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise and kinematics, let's find the time it takes to reach the velocity  20 m / s

          v = v₀ + a t

           

as part of rest v₀ = 0

          t = v / a

          t = 20/2

          t = 10 s

let's find the distance traveled in this time

          x₁ = vo t + ½ a t2

          x₁ = 0 + ½ 2 10²

          x₁ = 100 m

The remaining time is

          t₂ = 35 - t

          t₂ = 35 - 10

          t₂ = 25 s

as in this range it has a constant speed

          v = x₂ / t₂

          x₂ = v t₂

          x₂ = 20  25

          x₂ = 500 m

the total distance traveled is

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x_total = 100 + 500

           x_total = 600 m
