Answer:

2500miles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel  = 5hrs

Average speed  = 500miles/hr

Unknown:

Distance between the two cities  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that speed is the distance covered with time.

  So;

      Distance  = speed x time

Distance  = 500 x 5 = 2500miles

Two loudspeakers (A and B) are 3.20m apart and emitting a sound with a frequency of 400Hz. An observer is 2.10m directly in fron
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The observer hears a loud sound

Explanation:

In order to know if the observer hears a loud or a quiet sound, you need to know if there is a constructive or destructive interference between the sound waves of the loudspeakers.

You first calculate the distance between the observer and the loudspeakers.

The distances are given by:

d1: distance to loudspeaker A = 2.10m

d2: distance to loudspeaker B

d_2=\sqrt{(3.20m)^2+(2.10m)^2}=3.827m

Next, you calculate the wavelength of the sound waves by using the following formula:

\lambda=\frac{v_s}{f}

vs: speed of sound =  343 m/s

f: frequency of the waves = 400Hz

λ: wavelength

\lambda=\frac{343m/s}{400Hz}=0.8575m

Next, you calculate the path difference between the distance from the observer to the loudspeakers:

\Delta d=3.827m-2.10m=1.727m

You obtain a constructive interference (loud sound) if the quotient between the wavelength of the sound and the difference path is an integer:

\frac{\Delta d}{\lambda}=\frac{1.727m}{0.857}\approx2

Then, there will be a constructive interference, and the sound who the observer hears is loud.

You lay a mirror flat on the floor with one edge against a wall and aim a laser at the mirror. The ray reflects from the mirror
joja [24]

Answer:

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º

Explanation:

Given data

strikes the mirror before wall x = 30.7 cm

reflected ray strikes the wall y =  30.1 cm

to find out

the angle of incidence θ

solution

let us consider ray is strike at angle  θ so after strike on surface ray strike to wall at angle 90 - θ

we will apply here right angle triangle rule that is

tan( 90 - θ) = y /x

tan( 90 - θ)  = 30.1 / 30.7

90 - θ = tan^-1 (30.1/30.7)

90 - θ = 44.4345

θ = 45.56 º

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Ksju [112]

Answer:

M_1 = 317.7 kg

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

m = \rho V

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)

m = 210.7 kg

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

M = 210.7 + 990

M = 1200.7 kg

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g

(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)

1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4

M_1 = 317.7 kg
