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

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

3.4 mT

Explanation:

L = 0.53 m

i = 7.5 A

Theta = 19 degree

F = 4.4 × 10^-3 N

Let B be the strength of magnetic field.

Force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

F = i × L × B × Sin theta

4.4 × 10^-3 = 7.5 × 0.53 × B × Sin 19

B = 3.4 × 10^-3 Tesla

B = 3.4 mT

A car slows down from speed of 72
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s
