I'll just find out the path difference between the waves at the starting point. At infinity, the path difference will be zero because the observer will be infinitely far away from both. As the observer goes farther, the path difference keeps reducing till it reaches zero as the observer reaches infinity.
<span>Path difference at starting point = Distance from lower speaker - Distance from upper speaker = √((3)² + (2.5)²) - 2.5 = 1.405 m </span>
<span>Now to find wavelength. </span>
<span>Speed of sound in air at 20 degrees C = 343 m/s </span>
<span>Wavelength = 343 / 686 = 0.5 m </span>
<span>Destructive interference occurs when path difference = (2n + 1)λ/2 where n is an integer. </span>
<span>Maximum n possible can be found by, </span>
<span>(2n + 1)λ/2 < 1.405 </span>
<span>(2n + 1) < (1.4)(2) / (0.5) </span>
<span>2n < 5.6 - 1 </span>
<span>2n < 4.6 </span>
<span>n < 2.3 </span>
<span>So, we have 3 values of n, 0, 1 and 2. </span>
<span>Path differences are, λ/2, 3λ/2 and 5λ/2 which have values 0.25 m , 0.75 m and 1.25 m </span>
<span>But the question asks for distance from starting point. (sheesh!!) </span>
<span>Lets say the observer walked x distance. </span>
<span>Path difference = √((3)² + (2.5 + x)²) - (2.5 + x) </span>
<span>Equate this expression to the values obtained above to get the different values of x. </span>

Suppose you have two magnets. Magnet A doesn't have its poles labeled, but Magnet B does have a clearly labeled north and south

Levart [38]

<span>The right answer here would be option C - the side of Magnet A that's attracted to Magnet B's south pole must be Magnet A's north pole. This is due to the magnetic rule of opposites attracting.</span>

16. A student uses 110 N of force to push a box

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

792J

Explanation:

Use the formula Force × Distance

With 110 newtons being the force and 7.2 meters being the distance

Which gives 792 and work us measured in joules therefore its joules

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm

Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g$

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$
