How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

1 answer:

4 0

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

A 22 µF capacitor charged to 0.7 kV and a second 115 µF capacitor charged to 5.5 kV are connected to each other, with the positi

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.099C

Explanation:

First, we need to get the common potential voltage using the formula

$V=\frac {C_2V_2-C_1V_1}{C_1+C_2}$

Where V is the common voltage, C and V represent capacitance and charge respectively. Subscripts 1 and 2 to represent the the first and second respectively. Substituting the above with the following given values then

$C_1=22\times 10^{-6} F\\ C_2=115\times 10^{-6} F\\ V_1= 0.7\times 10^{3}\\V_2=5.5\times 10^{3}$

Therefore

$V=\frac {115\times 10^{-6}\times 5.5\times 10^{3}-22\times 10^{6}\times 0.7\times 10^{3}}{22\times 10^{-6}+115\times 10^{-6}}=4504.3795620437$

Charge, Q is given by CV hence for the first capacitor charge will be $Q_1=C_1V$

Here, $Q_1=22\times 10^{-6}\times 4504.3795620437=0.0990963503649C\approx 0.099C$

You're driving your new sports car at 80 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 540 m. What fraction of yo

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

75.84%

Explanation:

We were given Speed of the sports car, v as 80 mph , we can convert to m/s for unit consistency.

v=80mph= 35.76 m/s

The radius of curvature is given as , r = 540 m

✓ the normal weight can be denoted as Wn

✓ the apparent weight of the person can be denoted as Wa

Wn= normal weight= mg

Wa=apparent weight = (mg - mv^2/r)

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

The apparent weightand normal weight has a ratio of

Mn/Ma= [mg - mv^2/r]/mg ........eqn(1)

If we simplify eqn(1) we have

Mn/Ma=[g - vr^2/g].............eqn(2)

Then substitute the given values

Mn/Ma=9.8 - [(35.76^2)/540]/ 9.8

=0.758×100%

Mn/Ma=75.84%

Hence, the required fraction is 75.84%

on a high way a car is driven 80 km the first 1 he of travel, 50km during the next 0.5 he, and 40 km in the final 0.5 hr. What i

Leno4ka [110]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance) .

Total distance = (80 + 50 + 40) = 170 km

Total time = (1 + 0.5 + 0.5) = 2 hours

Average speed = (170 km) / (2 hrs) = 85 km/hr .

D. Destructive interference. An easy way to think about it is the waves are opposite each other, so they essentially cancel each other out, or make an effort to.
