Two in-phase loudspeakers are 3.0 m apart. they emit sound with a frequency of 490 hz. a microphone is placed half-way between t

he speakers and then moved along the line joining the two speakers until the first point of constructive interference is found. at what distance from that midpoint is that first point? the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answer:

0.35 m

Explanation:

Constructive interference occurs when the difference in the distance between the two speakers is  

0, λ, 2λ,...  

Here λ = v/f = 343/490 = 0.7m  

The first point of interference is the initial point which would mean the distance is the trivial solution of 0  .

A microphone is placed half-way between the speakers and then moved along the line joining the two speakers until the first point of constructive interference is found.

Let x be the distance from the midpoint to the next interference.  

This occurs when 1.5 + x -(1.5 - x) = 0.7

so 2x = 0.7 which means x = 0.7/2 = 0.35m

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

What’s the velocity of a ball falling with 100 joules of kinetic energy and a mass of 2 kilograms
ohaa [14]

Answer:

the velocity is 10 m/s

Explanation:

Using the expression for kinetic energy we have:

Ek=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\\\Ek=100J\\m=2kg\\v=\sqrt{(2*100/2)}\\ v=10[m/s]

A string that is 3.6 m long is tied between two posts and plucked. The string produces a wave that has a frequency of 320 Hz and
marin [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

\lambda = \frac{192}{320}

\lambda = 0.6m

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

N = \frac{L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}

N = 6

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.

A pendulum has 484 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
mihalych1998 [28]
-- Energy is never created or destroyed.

-- No energy is added to the pendulum during its swing.

-- If we ignore air resistance and friction, then no energy is lost
from the pendulum during its swing.

-- Therefore the total energy of the pendulum must be constant.

-- Any potential energy lost at any point in the swing
must show up as kinetic energy.  If it had 484J at the top,
then it'll have 484J at the bottom.
