In noisy factory environments, it's possible to use a loudspeaker to cancel persistent low-frequency machine noise at the positi

on of one worker. The details of practical systems are complex, but we can present a simple example that gives you the idea. Suppose a machine 5.5 m away from a worker emits a persistent 90 Hz hum. To cancel the sound at the worker's location with a speaker that exactly duplicates the machine's hum, how far from the worker should the speaker be placed? Assume a sound speed of 340 m/s.

Answer:

7.39 m or 3.61 m

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency = 90 Hz

v = Speed of sound = 340 m/s

Path difference of the two waves is given by

s_1-s_2=\frac{\lambda}{2}

Velocity of wave

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{340}{90}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3.78\ m

s_1=s_2\pm\frac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=5.5\pm \frac{3.78}{2}\\\Rightarrow s_1=7.39\ m, 3.61\ m

So, the location from the worker is 7.39 m or 3.61 m

The intensity of a sound wave at a fixed distance from a speaker vibrating at 1.00 kHz is 0.750 W/m2. (a) Determine the intensit
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a)   I = 3.63 W / m² , b)   I = 0.750 W / m²

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is given by the relation

         I = P / A = ½ ρ v (2π f s_{max})²

         I = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²) f²

a) with the initial condition let's call the intensity Io

        cte = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²)

         I₀ = cte s² f₀²

        I₀ = cte 10 6

If frequency is increase f = 2.20 10³ Hz

         I = constant (2.20 10³) 2

         I = cte 4.84 10⁶

let's find the relationship of the two quantities

        I / Io = 4.84

        I = 4.84 Io

        I = 4.84 0.750

        I = 3.63 W / m²

b) in this case the frequency is reduced to f = 0.250 10³ Hz and the displacement s = 4 s or

        I = cte (f s)²

        I = constant (0.250 10³ 4)²

 

        I = cte 1 10⁶

         

the relationship

        I / Io = 1

        I = Io

        I = 0.750 W / m²

1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C
