Answer: C

Explanation: Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution. The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the x-axis. The amplitude of each wave is a. The sound intensity i

leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the amplitude of the sound, we must first determine the wavelength and the phase difference between the two speakers.

For the wavelength;

Recall that, the separation between two successive max. and min. intensity points are $\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

Thus; for both speakers; the wavelength of the sound is:

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = (10+30) cm$

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = (40) cm$

λ = 80 cm

The relation between the path difference(Δx) and the phase difference(Δ∅) is:

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

where;

Δx = 10 cm

λ = 80 cm

Δ∅ = π rad

∴

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{2 \pi}{80 \ cm}(10 \ cm) + \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{2 \pi}{8}+ \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{ \pi}{4}+ \Delta \phi_o$

$\Delta \phi_o = \pi -\dfrac{ \pi}{4}$

$\Delta \phi_o = \dfrac{ 4\pi - \pi}{4}$

$\Delta \phi_o = \dfrac{ 3\pi}{4} \ rad$

Suppose both speakers are placed side-by-side, then the path difference between the two speakers is: Δx = 0 cm

Thus, we have:

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(0 \ cm ) + \dfrac{3 \pi}{4} \ rad$

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{3 \pi}{4} \ rad$

∴

The amplitude of the sound wave if the two speakers are placed side-by-side is:

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg (\dfrac{\Delta \phi }{2} \bigg)$

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg (\dfrac{\dfrac{3 \pi}{4} }{2} \bigg)$

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg ({\dfrac{3 \pi}{8} } \bigg)$

A = 0.765a

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the

Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, $\Delta t=0.003\ s$

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

$F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N$

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.
