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

If we decrease the amount of force, and kelp all other factors the same, what will happen to the amount of work?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Distance will decrease and work will decrease:

F = m a      Newton's Second Law

a = F / m       decreasing force will decrease acceleration

S = 1/2 a t^2 = 1/2 (F / m) t^2     distance traveled will decrease as force        decreases

W = F * S       work will decrease as both force and distance decrease

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i
givi [52]
The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75

By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows, with m1 = 12.1 kg and
puteri [66]

Answer:

14.8 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=43.7 kg

m_2=12.1 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)=4.9 m/s^2

We have to find the mass of the pulley.

According to question

T_2-m_2 g=m_2 a

T_2=m_2a+m_2g=m_2(a+g)=12.1(9.8+4.9)=177.87 N

T_1=m_1(g-a)=43.7(9.8-4.9)=214.13 N

Moment of inertia of pulley=I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2

(T_2-T_1)r=I(-\alpha)=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2(\frac{-a}{r})=\frac{1}{2}Mr(-4.9)

Where \alpha=\frac{a}{r}

(177.87-214.13)=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

-36.26=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

M=\frac{36.26\times 2}{4.9}=14.8 kg

Hence, the mass of the pulley=14.8 kg

If gas costs $3.65 per gallon at a local service station, how many cubic feet of gas can a customer buy with $40 ?
svet-max [94.6K]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly. 

For consistency you must convert gallons to cubic foot. The conversions are:

7.481 gal = 1 ft3

Then, $3.65 per gallon becomes $27.3 per ft3. If you buy $40 worth of gas, you get $40/$27.3 = 1.46 ft3 of gas. 

If you can travel for 4 miles per ft3, then with the amount of gas you have, you can travel up to 5.85 miles.

(4 miles/ft3)*(1.46 ft3) = 5.85 miles
