Answer:

Explanation:

Yes she is doing work. With or without the groceries, she is still doing work. She does more work with the groceries than without because Work is defined by F which is defined by mass. The mass increases with the groceries.

The work done is against the force of gravity.

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 rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King’s argument?

ankoles [38]

Is this your Question:

Read the hypothetical situation below and answer the question that follows.

In response to criticisms that the King of Mordor has failed to gain the consent of his people, the King claims that he does in fact represent the consent of the people because without their King, society would crumble into chaos.

Which statement BEST represents a rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King's argument?

A. Absolute chaos is preferable to the absolute power of the King.

B. The King of Mordor should establish a system of checks and balances.

C. If the King of Mordor were to represent the will of his people, then he would at least provide the public services demanded by his people.

D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

If this is your question.. Here is your Answer:

Answer: D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:

Rousseau believed that sovereignty (the power to make laws) belonged to the people, not one person, and that it should be carried out by a representative body of the people who are elected by them on their behalf. While he agreed society requires a ruler(s), he thinks they should be chosen by the people.
