Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the x-axis. The amplitude of each wave is a. The sound intensity i

s minimum when speaker 2 is 10 cm behind speaker 1. The intensity increases as speaker 2 is moved forward and first reaches maximum, with amplitude 2a, when it is 30 cm in front of speaker 1. What is What isThe amplitude of the sound (as a multiple of a) if the speakers are placed side by side?

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

Que unidad de medida se utiliza para expresar la capacidad o volumen de un objeto? Da un ejemplo
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Explicado a continuación</em>

Explanation:

Hay una pequeña diferencia conceptual entre la capacidad y el volumen de un objeto, a saber:

El volumen hace referencia al espacio que ocupa un objeto, mientras que la capacidad hace referencia al espacio que este contiene. Calcular el volumen de un cuerpo es medir cuánto ocupa mientras que calcular su capacidad es medir cuánto cabe en él.

En la práctica, ambos conceptos son usados indistintamente, ya que tienen unidades equivalentes.

El volumen tiene unidades de longitud al cubo, como por ejemplo:

m^3,\ cm^3\ ,dm^3,\ pie^3\ , pulg^3

y la capacidad se suele expresar en litros o unidades derivadas: litro, mililitro, centilitro, etc.

Como mencionamos, hay equivalencia engre los dos grupos de unidades. Entre las más conocidas están:

1\ lt=1\ dm^3,\ 1\ m^3=1000\ lt

Air enters a turbine operating at steady state at 8 bar, 1600 K and expands to 0.8 bar. The turbine is well insulated, and kinet
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the adiabatic process that relate the temperature and pressure variables

Mathematically this can be determined as

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}

Where

Temperature at inlet of turbine

Temperature at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

Pressure at exit of turbine

The steady flow Energy equation for an open system is given as follows:

m_i = m_0 = mm(h_i+\frac{V_i^2}{2}+gZ_i)+Q = m(h_0+\frac{V_0^2}{2}+gZ_0)+W

Where,

m = mass

m(i) = mass at inlet

m(o)= Mass at outlet

h(i)= Enthalpy at inlet

h(o)= Enthalpy at outlet

W = Work done

Q = Heat transferred

v(i) = Velocity at inlet

v(o)= Velocity at outlet

Z(i)= Height at inlet

Z(o)= Height at outlet

For the insulated system with neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects

h_i = h_0 + WW = h_i -h_0

Using the relation T-P we can find the final temperature:

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = (\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{(\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma})}\\

\frac{T_2}{1600K} = (\frac{0.8bar}{8nar})^{(\frac{1.4-1}{1.4})}\\ = 828.716K

From this point we can find the work done using the value of the specific heat of the air that is 1,005kJ / kgK

W = h_i -h_0W = C_p (T_1-T_2)W = 1.005(1600 - 828.716)W = 775.140kJ/Kg

the maximum theoretical work that could be developed by the turbine is 775.140kJ/kg

Use a common denominator to find-2/3 + -4/5​
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

-22/15

Explanation:

the least common denominator is  15 so first you multiply -2/3 by 5 in both the numerator and denominator making it -10/15

Then you do the same to -4/5 except you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 giving you -12/15

If you add -10/15+ -12/15 you get -22/15

Shtirlitz [24]
You have no options here so I'll just answer. It can cause a rise in heart rate and greatly increases the risk of overheating and even death. If you grab the rabbit too hard, you risk breaking/fracturing a bone or causing other kinds of damage, whether externally or internally, to the rabbit.

What is the wavelength of a sound wave<br> with a speed of 331 m/s and a frequency<br> of 500 Hz?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

0.777m

Explanation:

The sound wave has a wavelength of 0.773m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use the wave equation that is given below:

We know the frequency and the velocity, both of which have good units. All we have to do is rearrange the equation and solve for  

λ :

λ = v f

Let's plug in our given values and see what we get!

λ = 340 m s

440 s − 1

λ = 0.773 m
