Answer:

1.21m

Explanation:

If two speakers are generating a frequency of 280Hz, the smallest separation distance between the speakers that will produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them is also known as the wavelength of the sound wave generated.

Using the expression;

Velocity v = frequency f × wavelength ¶

Given frequency = 280Hz, speed of sound v = 338m/s

Substituting this data's in the expression given to get the wavelength will give;

¶ = v/f

¶ = 338/280

¶ = 1.21m

The smallest separation between the speakers that will produce the interference is 1.21m

Two forces act on a moving object that has a mass of 27 kg. One has a magnitude of 12 N and points due south, while the other ha
levacccp [35]

0.77 m/s2 directed 35° south of west

net force = (-17,-12)

net force = mass * acceleration

(-17,-12) = 27 * (x-acceleration,y-acceleration)

(x-acceleration,y-acceleration) = (-17/27,-12/27) = (-0.629629629..., -0.444...)

angle of acceleration = tan^-1 (-0.444.../-0.629629...) = 35.21759 degrees below negative x-axis.

magnitude of acceleration = sqrt((-0.629629...)^2 + (-0.444...)^2) = 0.77069 (5dp)
