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>

A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 3.0 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.0 m/s in the opposi
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

Applying Newton's third second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.

Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive

Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(-4-3)/0.1

F = 4(-7)/0.1

F = -28/0.1

F = -280 N.

Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball

What role does actin and myosin play in the process of muscle contraction?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and myosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another. The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of myosin to actin filaments, allowing myosin to function as a motor that drives filament sliding.
