Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ng 4.50 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:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency

Which object will have greater acceleration? Why?​
dexar [7]

Answer:

Object D

Explanation:

Use Newton's Second Law to determine the acceleration that each object has.

  • F = ma

The force applied in both cases is 50 N, but the mass for object C and object D is different.

Let's start with object C first:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 10 kg · a
  • 50 = 10a
  • 5 = a

The acceleration object C undergoes is 5 m/s².  

Now let's calculate object D next:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 2 kg * a
  • 50 = 2a
  • 25 = a

The acceleration object D undergoes is 25 m/s².

Object D has greater acceleration because it has a smaller mass. The object with a smaller mass will accelerate more in order to satisfy Newton's 2nd Law.

What do echolocation and ultrasounds have in common?
Natali5045456 [20]
They both are mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Echolocation and ultrasounds are both mechanical waves that require a medium to trace through. They both process and transfer information through waves; the difference is that we humans cannot hear ultrasound waves.

A car enters a level, unbanked semi-circular hairpin turn of 100 m radius at a speed of 28 m/s. The coefficient of friction betw
meriva

Answer:

As  28m/s = 28m/s

Explanation:

r = the radius of the curve

m =  the mass of the car

μ = the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = normal reaction

When rounding the curve, the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

therefore

\mu mg = m \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\\\ \mu =  \frac{v^{2}}{rg}

v = \sqrt{\mu rg}

\mu = \sqrt{0.8 \times 100\times9.8} \\\\= 28m/s

As  28m/s = 28m/s

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s
