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.

What cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from?.
ser-zykov [4K]

The Oort cloud extends to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from.

<h3>What is oort cloud?</h3>

It is a hypothetical idea of a cloud of mostly frozen planetesimals that would orbit the Sun at distances between 2,000 and 200,000 AU.

The Oort cloud reaches the solar system's outer gravitational boundaries, where comets originate.

Hence cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system will be oorto cloud.

You have been called in by your neighborhood safety council to advise them about installing a barrier on a dangerous curve that
Alborosie

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Explanation:

1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse

2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt

J is Impulse

f is the force applied during the time Δt

A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)

A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
