Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. The frequency of the waves emitt

ed by each speaker is 172 Hz. You are 8.00 m from speaker A. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s.
What is the closest you can be to speaker B and be at a point of perfectly destructive interference?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency =172Hz

Speed of sound =344m/s

Distance from A is 8m.

The wave length λ=v/f

Therefore, λ=344/172

λ=2m

for destructive interference, the path difference must be λ/2, the equation for destructive interference

Δr = (2n + 1) λ / 2

For the first interference n = 0

Δr = λ / 2

∆r=2/2

∆r=1m

the closest you can be to speaker B and be at a point of perfectly destructive interference is 1m

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A. less

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to it mass and velocity. It is the product of mass and velocity of the object. Given as

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) \times Velocity (v)

So the momentum of car,

p_{c} = m_{c}\times v_{c}

Momentum of truck,

p_{t} = m_{t}\times v_{t}

We know that, mass of car is less than that of truck and velocity of the two are same. It is implied that, momentum of car will be less than that of truck.

A particle moves along a path described by y=Ax^3 ​​ and x = Bt, where tt is time. What are the units of A and B?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

In a nutshell, units of A and B are \frac{1}{[l]^{2}} and \frac{[l]}{[t]}, respectively.

Explanation:

From Dimensional Analysis we understand that x and y have length units ([l]) and t have time units ([t]). Then, we get that:

[l] = A\cdot [l]^{3} (Eq. 1)

[l] = B\cdot [t] (Eq. 2)

Now we finally clear each constant:

A = \frac{[l]}{[l]^{3}}

A = \frac{1}{[l]^{2}}

B = \frac{[l]}{[t]}

In a nutshell, units of A and B are \frac{1}{[l]^{2}} and \frac{[l]}{[t]}, respectively.

If you shout into the grand canyon, your voice travels at the speed of sound (340 m/s) to the bottom of the canyon and back, and
Nostrana [21]
Given:
The speed of sound is  340 m/s
Time for the echo is 5.2 s.

Let h = the depth of the canyon.

Because the sound of your voice travels to the bottom of the canyon and back to your ear, the total distance traveled is 2h.

By definition,
distance = velocity * time.
Therefore
2h = (340 m/s)*(5.2 s) = 1768 m
h = 884 m

Answer: The depth is 884 m.
