a new car is advertised as having anti-noise technology. The manufacturer claims that inside the car any sound on negated. Evalu

ate the possibility of such a claim. What would have to be created to cause destructive interference with any sound in the car? Do you believe the manufacturers claim is correct?

Answer:

I guess you mean that any sound coming from outside is negated, first, this would mean that you can not hear some signals that may help you to avoid accidents, so you do not want this technology.

Now, let's see if it is possible.

Suppose you have a soundwave approaching the car, the car needs to cancel the soundwaves as the soundwaves approach to the surface, to do it, you need to create another wave that is equal in amplitude, but with a change of phase of pi.

in order to do this, the car must be able to "analyze" the coming soundwave and instantly create another one to cancel it. Suppose that the sound is canceled. now if the sound changes, the car must be able to also change the sound that the car is producing, this instantaneous change is one of the problems.

Another problem is that, as you know, the sound propagates as spherical waves, this means that the wavefront of a wave produced far away will have a bigger radius than the soundwave produced by the car, then we never will have a situation where the wavefront is canceled: This means that we only can cancellate the sound in some areas of the car, and we still will have some sound in other parts of the car.

Another way to isolate the car is with isolating panels, those panels absorb the sound and transmit a very little amount of it (those panels are used in recording studios, for example). With enough of those you can cancel almost all the sound coming from the outside, but to do this you will need a big car because the amount of isolating material needed is a lot.  

We can conclude that the manufacturers claim is not correct.

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.

Misconception about falling objects
Yakvenalex [24]
A simple rule to bear in mind is that all objects (regardless of their mass) experience the same acceleration when in a state of free fall. When the only force is gravity, the acceleration is the same value for all objects. On Earth, this acceleration value is 9.8 m/s/s.
