<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)$

$\Delta x=36\ m$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}$

$\lambda=1.42\ m$

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36$

$\phi=159.29\ rad$

$\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}$

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.
