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.

vodka [1.7K]
Well, first of all, if the ramps are perfectly frictionless, then the ball
won't roll ... it'll slide.  Kind of like a bowling ball does at the beginning
of a shiny, highly-waxed lane.  You need friction against the ball to roll it.

But in any case, no matter what the slopes of the ramps are, even
if they have different slopes, the ball will rise on the second ramp
to the same height from which it was released on the first ramp.

Check all of the following statements that describe velocity.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Choices A, B, and C are correct.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

A. It is a vector

Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.

B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.

Yes. The velocity can be written as

v = \dfrac{\Delta\bold{x}}{\Delta t}

where \bold{x} is the displacement—a vector quantity.

C. It can be measured in meters per second.

Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.

D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.

Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.

Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.

The worker’s pull on the handle of the cart can best be described as a force having
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

both magnitude and direction

Explanation:

The worker's pull on the handle of the cart is best described as the force having both magnitude and direction.

  • This is a vector quantity
  • The force is channeled to move the cart in a specific direction.
  • Also, the pull on the cart can be quantified, and so it have magnitude.
  • Most physical properties either have magnitude or direction or both.

In this case, the worker is pulling the cart towards a specified direction.

Therefore, the fitting choice is both magnitude and direction.

The same 2000 kg truck formerly traveling at 32 m/s, plows into a
kvasek [131]

Answer: |F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N

Explanation:

an impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 2000(0 - 32) / 0.5

F = -128,000

|F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N
