Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ng 5.00 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound.
Required:

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.

First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem

l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)

l₂ = √4+25

l₂ = √29

l₂ = 5.39 m

Hence, the path difference is

ΔL = l₂ - l₁

ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m

ΔL = 0.39 m

From the formula for destructive interference

ΔL = (n+1/2)λ

where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength

n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.

Then,

0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ

0.39 = (3/2)λ

0.39 = 1.5λ

∴ λ = 0.39/1.5

λ = 0.26 m

From

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340 / 0.26

f = 1307.69 Hz

Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.

Which causes the thermocline?
Igoryamba
<span>Thermocline is a layer between warm water from the ocean’s surface and cool water from below the ocean. In here, the temperature decreases rapidly from the warmer layer to the colder layer.  A thermocline forms due to the heat of the sun heating the ocean’s surface. Because of the difference in density between warm and cooler ocean water, cooler ocean water sinks and warmer ocean water floats. This is caused due to the heat and mass transfer between particles of the ocean. The answer is letter C. The sun’s radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.</span>

To impress his friends while riding on a carnival
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

B. decreases while his angular speed remains  unchanged.

Explanation:

His angular speed will always be the same as the wheel's angular speed, which remains constant as it's in uniform motion. As for linear speed, which is defined as the product of angular speed and distance r to the center of rotation, and his distance to center is decreasing, his linear speed must be decreasing as well.
