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.

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.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

                  = 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

                                   = 750 Joules + 300 Joules

                                   = 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ

An electrical motor spins at a constant 1975.0 rpm. If the armature radius is 7.112 cm, what is the acceleration of the edge of
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since value of angular acceleration is constant, the body has only centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal acceleration

               a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(r\omega )^2}{r}=r\omega ^2

We have radius = 7.112 cm = 0.07112 m

Frequency, f = 1975 rpm = 32.92 rps

Angular frequency, ω = 2πf = 2 x π x 32.92 = 206.82 rad/s

Substituting in centripetal acceleration equation,

              a=r\omega ^2=0.07112\times 206.82^2=3042.17m/s^2

Option D is the correct answer.

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).
telo118 [61]
2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

e-lub [12.9K]

Assume a maximum stopping acceleration of g/2 where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

2.99 m/s

Explanation:

Stopping distance, s = 3 ft = 0.914 m

final velocity, v = 0

a = g/2 = 4.9 m/s²

Use third equation of motion:

v^2-u^2 = 2as

substitute the values to find the speed of train:

0 -u^2 = 2\times -4.9 \times 0.914 \\u^2=8.96 \\u=2.99 m/s
