The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different

paths. The sound travels through the left tube LXM, which has a fixed length. Simultaneously, the sound travels through the right tube LYM, the length of which can be changed by moving the sliding section. At M, the sound waves coming from the two paths interfere. As the length of the path LYM is changed, the sound loudness detected by the microphone changes. When the sliding section is pulled out by 0.030 m, the loudness changes from a maximum to a minimum. Find the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube.

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

A 4.5 g coin sliding to the right at 23.8 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 13.5 g coin that is initially at rest.
Airida [17]

Answer:

a) v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} ), b) \Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J

Explanation:

a) The final velocity of the 13.5 g coin is found by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (23.8\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (-11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot v

The final velocity is:

v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )

b) The change in the kinetic energy of the 13.5 g coin is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left[(11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}\right]

\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The effects that certain frequencies of EMR have when absorbed by matter is explained below in complete detail.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation of distinct frequencies associates with material adversely. ... Gamma rays, though commonly of somewhat greater frequency than X rays have the equivalent creation. When the power of gamma rays is consumed in material, its influence is practically indistinguishable from the outcome generated by X rays.
