Two speakers separated by a distance of 4.40 m emit sound. The speakers have opposite phase. A person listens from a location 3.

00 m directly in front of one of the speakers.
What is the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference in this case?

Answer:

f = 147.21 Hz

Explanation:

In order to have a destructive interference, as the source emit in opposite phases, the path difference between the distance to the person, measured in a straight line from the speakers, must be equal to an integer number of wavelengths.

We need to know the distance from the listener to the other speaker, located 4.4 m from the one which is directly in front of him, which we can find using Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

l₂ = √(3)²+(4.4)² = 5.33 m

The difference in path will be, then:

d = l₂-l₁ = 5.33 m - 3.00 m = 2.33 m

For the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference, the wavelength will be highest possible, which happens when the distance is just one wavelength.

⇒ d = λ = 2.33 m

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength, as follows:

v = λ*f Κ  ⇒ f = v/λ

Taking the speed of sound as 343 m/s, and solving for f, we get:

f= 343 m/s / 2.33 m = 147.21 Hz

A skier is skiing down a slope on the mountain.
uysha [10]

The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.

As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg
