Two sources of in-phase coherent sound are located at the points (0 m, 2 m) and (-2 m, 0 m). An observer at the origin hears con

structive interference because she is equidistant from both sources. However, if she moves in the +x direction, she hears destructive interference for the first time when she reaches the point (0.6 m, 0 m). What is the frequency of the sound that the sources are emitting? a) 476 Hz b) 391 Hz c) 335 Hz d) 295 Hz e) 244 Hz

Answer:

c) 335 Hz

Explanation:

Given that the two sources:

S₁ ≡ (0 m, 2 m)

S₂ ≡ (-2 m, 0 m)

The lady hears the destructive interference for the first time when she reaches the point (0.6 m, 0 m).

So, the path difference = Δx = |S₂P - S₁P|

S_2P=\sqrt {(-2-0.6)^2+(0-0)^2}=2.6\ m

S_1P=\sqrt {(0-0.6)^2+(2-0)^2}=2.0881\ m

So,

Δx = |2.6 - 2.0881| = 0.5119 m

For, first destructive interference, Δx = λ / 2

So,

Wavelength = 1.0238 m

Also,

c = ν×λ

Where,

c is the speed of sound wave having value as 346 m/s

ν is the frequency

λ is the wavelength

So,

<u>ν = c / λ = 346 m/s / 1.0238 m ≈  335 Hz</u>

zepelin [54]
The correct option is B.
Sunglasses are designed to block polarized light. If you are driving toward the sun,  most of the sun's glare will be coming to you horizontally, thus, the best sunglasses to wear is the one, that will block the horizontal glare and allow only the vertical glare to pass through.

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s

Select the phrases that correctly describe density. Density is a chemical property. Density relates a mass to its volume. Densit
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Density relates a mass to its volume.

Density varies with temperature

Density determines if a substance floats or sinks.

Density may have units of grams per milliliter (g/mL)

Explanation:

Density D is a characteristic property of a substance or material and is defined as the relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V}

This means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

On the other hand, density is a scalar quantity and according to the International System of Units its unit is D=\frac{kg}{m^{3}} , although it can be also expressed in \frac{g}{ml}.

It should be noted that the density of a body is related to its buoyancy, a substance or body will float on another fluid if its density is lower. In addition, if the pressure of the substance remains constant, as the temperature increases, the density decreases; this means density varies with the temperature as well.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

The internal energy (kinetic energy) of the milk particles increases thus warming the milk up, while the internal energy of the coffee particles reduce their initial average speed as they are imparting energy to the slow milk particles.
