Two loudspeakers are placed next to each other and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the

two speakers and on the line separating them, thus creating a constructive interference at the listener's ear. What minimum distance would one of the speakers be moved back away from the listener to produce destructive interference at the listener's ear? (The speed of sound = 340 m/s.)

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Wave velocity

f = Frequency,

Replacing with our values we have that,

\lambda = \frac{340}{500}

\lambda = 0.68m

The distance to move one speaker is half this

\lambda/2 = 0.34m

Therefore the minimum distance will be 0.34m

20 points for an answer Explain how the distance of a planet from the sun affects the motion of the planet? Justify your respons
Nataliya [291]
The sun’s huge mass gives it a strong gravitational pull. Because of this gravitational pull, planets that are closer to the sun tend to have different motion than planets that are further away from the sun, because the gravity becomes stronger the closer you get. I hope this helped!

In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>

A stone is thrown horizontally at 60.0 m/sm/s from the top of a very tall cliff. Calculate its horizontal position and vertical
svp [43]

Answer:

X-Positions:                                         Y-Positions

x(0) = 0                                                   y(0) = 0

x(2) = 120 m                                           y(2) = 19.6 m

x(4) = 240 m                                          y(4) = 78.4 m

x(6) = 360 m                                          y(6) = 176.4 m

x(8) = 480 m                                          y(8) = 313 m

x(10) = 600m                                         y (10) = 490 m

Explanation:

X-Positions

  • First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
  • After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
  • So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

       x = v_{ox} * t = 60.0 m/s * t(s)

  • It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.

Y-Positions

  • We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
  • As both axes are  perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
  • At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
  • As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the  height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

       y = \frac{1}{2} * g* t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 m/s2 * t(s)^{2}

  • Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
  • y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
  • y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
  • y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
  • y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
  • y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m

A player is positioned 35 m[40 degrees W of S] of the net. He shoot the puck 25 m [E] to a teammate. What second displacement do
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

x=22.57 m

Explanation:

Given that

35 m in W of S

angle = 40 degrees

25 m in east

From the diagram

The angle

\theta=90-40=50^o

From the triangle OAB

cos40^o=\frac{35^2+25^2-x^2}{2\times 35\times 25}

1340.57=35^2+25^2-x^2

x=22.57 m

Therefore the answer of the above problem will be 22.57 m
