Answer:

15.76N

Explanation:

horizontal component =Fcos¢ = 20cos38 = 15.76N

horizontal component = Fx = F cos α

vertical component = Fy = F sin α

the horizontal component of the force on the box:

\tt =20\times cos~38^o\\\\=\boxed{\bold{15.76~N}}

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.

First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem

l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)

l₂ = √4+25

l₂ = √29

l₂ = 5.39 m

Hence, the path difference is

ΔL = l₂ - l₁

ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m

ΔL = 0.39 m

From the formula for destructive interference

ΔL = (n+1/2)λ

where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength

n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.

Then,

0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ

0.39 = (3/2)λ

0.39 = 1.5λ

∴ λ = 0.39/1.5

λ = 0.26 m

From

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340 / 0.26

f = 1307.69 Hz

Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.

Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by _______ objects that travel in straight paths. *
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.

A particle moves along line segments from the origin to the points (1, 0, 0), (1, 5, 1), (0, 5, 1), and back to the origin under
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Since work done W = ∫F.dr and F(x, y, z)= z²i + 4xyj + 5y²k and dr = dxi + dyj + dzk

F.dr = (z²i + 4xyj + 5y²k).(dxi + dyj + dzk) = z²dx + 4xydy + 5y²dz

W = ∫F.dr = ∫z²dx + 4xydy + 5y²dz = z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z

We now evaluate the work done for the different regions

W₁ = work done from (0,0,0) to (1,0,0)

W₁ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₀₀₀¹⁰⁰ = 0²(1) + 2(1)(0)² + 5(0)²(0) - [(0)²(0) + 2(0)(0)² + 5(0)²(0)] = 0 - 0 = 0 J

W₂ = work done from (1,0,0) to (1,5,1)

W₂ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₀₀¹⁵¹ =   (1)²(1) + 2(1)(5)² + 5(5)²(1) - [0²(1) + 2(1)(0)² + 5(0)²(0)] =  1 + 50 + 125 - 0 = 176 J

W₃ = work done from (1,5,1) to (0,5,1)

W₃ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₅₁⁰⁵¹ =   1²(0) + 2(0)(5)² + 5(5)²(1) - [(1)²(1) + 2(1)(5)² + 5(5)²(1)]  = 125 - (1 + 50 + 125) = 125 - 176 = -51 J

W₄ = work done from (0,5,1) to (0,0,0)

W₄ = {z²x + 2xy² + 5y²z}₁₅₁⁰⁰⁰ =   (0)²(0) + 2(0)(0)² + 5(0)²(0) - [1²(0) + 2(0)(5)² + 5(5)²(1)] = 0 - 125 = -125 J

The total work done W is thus

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 0 J + 176 J - 51 J - 125 J

W = 176 J - 176 J

W = 0 J

The total work done equals 0 J
