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 kg block is pushed up an incline that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Once the block is pushe
Sophie [7]

Answer:

  B)  100 J

Explanation:

Assuming the distance given is measured along the incline, the vertical change in height is (5 m)(sin 30°) = 2.5 m. Then the change in potential energy is ...

  ∆PE = mg(∆h) = (4 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.5 m) = 100 J

True.or false A railroad track runs southwest to northeast.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

ns for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965. Various state and federal proposals have followed. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains (the Metroliner service in 1969), it failed to spread. Definitions of what constitutes high-speed rail vary, including a range of speeds over 110 mph (180 km/h) and dedicated rail lines. Inter-city railwith top speeds between 90 and 125 mph (140 and 200 km/h) is sometimes referred to in the United States as higher-speed rail.[1]

Amtrak's Acela Express (reaching 150 mph, 240 km/h), Silver Star, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service, Vermonter and certain MARC Penn Line express trains (all five reaching 125 mph, 201 km/h) are the only high-speed services in the country.

As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2031.[2]
