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>

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

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

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

Because the moon rotates once for each revolution around Earth,
irina [24]
Good Morning, how are you?

Your answer is C. The moon orbits and rotates the same, so we NEVER see the far side of the moon from earth :)

Have a great day :)

Explain why xrays are used to take images of inside the body but UV isnt
Sidana [21]

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.

A child is sitting on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is 1.5 m in diameter. If the merry-go-round makes 3.2 rev/min, wha
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!
