A speaker that emits sound is located at the origin of a coordinate system. Two microphones are located on the x-axis, with micr

ophone 1 at the x = 3.0 meter mark and microphone 2 at the x = 5.0 meter mark. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, how much longer does it take a sound emitted by the speaker to reach microphone 2 than microphone 1?

Answer:

0.00583 seconds

Explanation:

Distance from mic 1 to origin = 3 m

Distance from mic 2 to origin = 5 m

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

Time taken by mic 1

$t_1=\frac{\text{Distance from mic 1 to origin}}{\text{Speed of sound}}\\\Rightarrow t_1=\frac{3}{343}=0.008746\ s$

$t_2=\frac{\text{Distance from mic 2 to origin}}{\text{Speed of sound}}\\\Rightarrow t_2=\frac{5}{343}=0.014577\ s$

Time difference = t₂ - t₁ = 0.14577-0.008746 = 0.00583 s

∴ Difference in time taken by the speaker is 0.00583 s

What is transmitted by all waves

Nesterboy [21]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Energy

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

A wave is a transmission of disturbance from one point to another. All waves involve transmission of energy from one point called the source to another point.
<em><u>Waves describes various ways in which energy can be transferred from a point source.</u></em>
<em><u>In electromagnetic waves</u></em><em>, for instance, </em><em><u>energy transmission occurs as a result of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields</u></em><u>.</u>
<u><em>In mechanical waves energy transmission is as a result of vibration of particles in the medium used</em></u>. For example in sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of particles of air or particles of a solid or medium through which sound travels through.

a toy propeller fan with a moment of inertia of .034 kg x m^2 has a net torque of .11Nxm applied to it. what angular acceleratio

Harman [31]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is $\alpha = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The moment of inertia is $I = 0.034\ kg \cdot m^2$

The net torque is $\tau = 0.11\ N \cdot m$

Generally the net torque is mathematically represented as

$\tau = I * \alpha$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration so

$\alpha = \frac{\tau }{I}$

substituting values

$\alpha = \frac{0.1 1}{ 0.034}$

$\alpha = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2$

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$7.1$ ms⁻¹

Explanation:

$d$ = diameter of merry-go-round = 4 m

$r$ = radius of merry-go-round = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 m

$I$ = moment of inertia = 500 kgm²

$w_{i}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round before ryan jumps = 2.0 rad/s

$w_{f}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round after ryan jumps = 0 rad/s

$v$ = velocity of ryan before jumping onto the merry-go-round

$m$ = mass of ryan = 70 kg

Using conservation of angular momentum

$Iw_{i} - m v r = (I + mr^{2})w_{f}$

$(500)(2.0) - (70) v (2) = (I + mr^{2})(0)$

$1000 = 140 v$

$v = 7.1$ ms⁻¹

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>
