The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l

ong. The sound destructively interferes at point O. What is the minimum frequency of the source if the speed of sound is 340 m/s?

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum \frac{\lambda}{2}

here  λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = \frac{\lambda}{2}  

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength    .............1

frequency  = \frac{340}{2}  

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

A screen is placed a distance dd to the right of an object. A converging lens with focal length ff is placed between the object
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

2f

Explanation:

The formula for the object - image relationship of thin lens is given as;

1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Where;

s is object distance from lens

s' is the image distance from the lens

f is the focal length of the lens

Total distance of the object and image from the lens is given as;

d = s + s'

We earlier said that; 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Making s' the subject, we have;

s' = sf/(s - f)

Since d = s + s'

Thus;

d = s + (sf/(s - f))

Expanding this, we have;

d = s²/(s - f)

The derivative of this with respect to d gives;

d(d(s))/ds = (2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)²

Equating to zero, we have;

(2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)² = 0

(2s/(s - f)) = s²/(s - f)²

Thus;

2s = s²/(s - f)

s² = 2s(s - f)

s² = 2s² - 2sf

2s² - s² = 2sf

s² = 2sf

s = 2f

When an astronomer sees certain stars and galaxies that look much redder than expected, what conclusion might the astronomer dra
Ratling [72]

It all comes to the doppler effect, the red shift means that the galaxy is moving away from us. The redshift is a result from the doppler effect, so as the galaxy moves away the wavelength expands, increasing the wavelength which responds to the red light.

A 2.4-kg ball falling vertically hits the floor with a speed of 2.5 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.5 m/s. What is the magnit
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.6 Ns

Explanation:

Note: From newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m(v-u).................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

Given: m = 2.4 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, u = -1.5 m/s (rebounds)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 2.4[2.5-(-1.5)]

I = 2.4(2.5+1.5)

I = 2.4(4)

I = 9.6 Ns

Using Newton's third law of motion, explain what happens when you let an untied balloon go.
mash [69]

Answer:

balloon pushes you back

Explanation:

3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

So, when you let go of the balloon it's pushed forward so the balloon pushes you back

Explain why the gravitational acceleration of any object near earth is the same matter what was the mass of the object
Gre4nikov [31]
It takes greater force to accelerate an object that has more mass. But the gravitational force between the Earth and an object is greater when the object hass more mass. It works out just right to make any object with any mass accelerate at the same rate.
