Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ng 5.50 m in front of one of the speakers perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound. What is the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

242.85 Hz

Explanation:

For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...

Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.

The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.

Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,

ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4

ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.

f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Applied voltage should be 13.5396 kV

Explanation:

The charge stored by a capacitor when subjected to a potential difference 'v' across it's plates is given by

Q=\frac{K\epsilon _{o} A}{d}V

Solving for V we get

V=\frac{Qd}{K\epsilon _{o}A}

thus to store a charge of 0.11mC we solve for V as follows

Applying values we get

V=\frac{0.11\times 10^{-3}\times 0.01\times 10^{-3}}{27\times 10^{-4}\times 3.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}

\therefore V=13.5396kV

Liula [17]
<span>To know if there were other factors that affected the volume of a gas, Genaris and her classmates should: </span>"formulate a new hypothesis with the same dependent variable but a different independent variable as the original hypothesis." In this case, the dependent variable is the volume of the gas and the new independent variable is a factor they think will affect the volume of the gas.

A 90-meter train travels at a constant speed of 10 meters per second. How long will it take to cross a 0.06 bridge?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the train, L₁ = 90 m

length of the bridge, L₂ = 0.06 m

speed of the train, v = 10 m/s

Total distance to be traveled, = L₁ + L₂

                                                  = 90 m + 0.06 m

                                                   = 90.06 m

Time of motion = Distance / speed

Time of motion = 90.06 / 10

Time of motion = 9.006 s ≅ 9.01 s

Therefore, the time taken for the train to cross the bridge is 9.01 s

What is ohm law form?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

V=RI

Explanation:

Ohm's law states the relationship between voltage, resistance and current in an electrical circuit containing passive elements only:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage supplied by the battery

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

From the equation, we see that the voltage, V, is directly proportional to the current in the circuit, I.
