When two sound waves of similar frequency interfere with each other, there is a fluctuating sound heard which is periodic and repeating. This fluctuating sound is called beat. Beat frequency( number of beats per second) is equal to the difference of the frequency of the two sound waves.

So, sound waves of frequency 400 Hz and 404 Hz will produce 4 beats per second.

Two beat sounds are produced, at the sum and difference of the two waves that produce them.

When Jack and Jill blow their whistles at the same time, their father Joe, at the bottom of the hill, hears four sounds ... the sound from Jack's whistle at 400 Hz, the sound from Jill's whistle at 404 Hz, and two more sounds that have no apparent source ... one at 804 Hz and another at 4 Hz.

Joe may not even notice the sound at 804 Hz, and the 4 Hz won't actually sound like a sound ... it'll sound to Joe like a rapid pulsing fluctuation in the loudness of the sounds from the whistles.

As long as the sounds of the whistles and their beats continue, Joe knows that the kids are OK, but they're not doing the job he sent them up the hill to do. Clearly, they're standing there whistling, and no pail of water is being fetched.

Answer:

22145.27733 ft

124984.76055 ft

Explanation:

The equation of pressure is

P=P_0e^{-kh}

where,

P_0 =Atmospheric pressure = 800 mbar

k = Constant

h = Altitude = 35000 ft

P=\dfrac{1}{3}P_0

\dfrac{1}{3}P_0=P_0e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}=e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow 3=e^{k35000}\\\Rightarrow ln3=k35000\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ln3}{35000}\\\Rightarrow k=3.13\times 10^{-5}

Now

P=\dfrac{1}{2}P_0

ln2=kh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{k}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=22145.27733\ ft

The altitude will be 22145.27733 ft

P=0.02P_0

0.02P_0=P_0e^{-kh}\\\Rightarrow 0.02=e^{-3.13\times 10^{-5}h}\\\Rightarrow ln0.02=-3.13\times 10^{-5}h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln0.02}{-3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=124984.76055\ ft

The elevation is 124984.76055 ft

Describe the relationship between motion<br> and a reference point.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

An object is in motion when its distance from another object is changing. ... A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.

Sort the length measurements in increasing order of magnitude from smallest to largest Drag each tile to the correct box Tiles S
wariber [46]

Answer:

Nanometer, micrometer, centimeter, decimeter, dekameter, kilometer

Explanation:

Given the following length measurement :

micrometer Kilometer decimeter centimeter nanometer dekameter.

Sorting in increasing order of magnitude from Smallest to Largest.

Expressing in terms of meters :

1 meter = 0.1 decameter

1 meter = 1 × 10^9 nanometer

1 meter = 1 × 10^2 centimeter

1 meter = 1 × 10^1 decimeter

1 meter = 0.001 kilometer

1 meter = 1 × 10^6 micrometers

Hence, arranging from Smallest to Largest :

Nanometer, micrometer, centimeter, decimeter, dekameter, kilometer
