Two loudspeakers 42.0 m apart and facing each other emit identical 115 Hz sinusoidal sound waves in a room where the sound speed

is 345 m/s. Susan is walking along a line between the speakers. As she walks, she finds herself moving through loud and quiet spots. If Susan stands 19.5 m from one speaker, is she standing at a quiet spot or a loud spot?

Answer:

She will be located in a loud area.

Explanation:

To evaluate whether Susan is situated in a quiet or loud area, we must first ascertain the difference in the sound waves reaching her from the two speakers.

If we refer to d₁ as the distance to speaker A, which measures 19.5 m, then d₂ to the other speaker is calculated as follows:

d₂ = 42.0 m - 19.5 m = 22.5 m

This reveals that the path difference between both speakers is:

d = d₂-d₁ = 22.5 m -19.5 m = 3.0 m

Next, we relate this distance to the sound wave's wavelength; for constructive interference, the path difference must equal an even multiple of half the wavelength:

d = (2n)*(λ/2)

To determine λ, we know that for any wave, the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength holds:

v = λ*f

<pwhere v="345" m="" and="" f="115" we="" can="" calculate="">

λ = v/f = 345 m/s / 115 (1/s) = 3.0 m.

Since the difference between the distances to Susan from both speakers corresponds exactly to one wavelength, this indicates that both waves arrive at the same phase, resulting in constructive interference, thus labeling it as a loud area.

A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from
serg [1198]

Response:

3.5 N

Reasoning:

Taking the 0 cm position as the pivot point, to achieve balance, the total moment calculated around this point must equal zero. We will analyze the moment generated at each point, moving from 0 to 100 cm:

- Tension from the string at the 0 cm mark is 0, since the moment arm is nonexistent.

- A 2 N weight at the 10 cm point creates a moment of 20 Ncm moving clockwise.

- Another 2 N weight at the 50 cm position produces a moment of 100 Ncm also clockwise.

- The weight of the 1 N stick located at its center of mass (50 cm) has a moment of 50 Ncm, clockwise.

- A 3 N weight at the 60 cm position generates a moment of 180 Ncm, clockwise.

- The tension T (N) from the string at the 100 cm end contributes a moment of 100T Ncm, moving counter-clockwise.

Total clockwise moments = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350 Ncm.

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T.

To achieve balance, we set 100 T = 350, leading to T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N.

On a caterpillars map all distances are marked in kilometers . The caterpillars map shows the distance between two milkweed plan
ValentinkaMS [1149]

Answer:

The equivalent distance in kilometers is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

Explanation:

It's known that 1 millimeter converts to 10^{-3} meters. Then, 1 meter converts to 10^{-3} kilometers. Therefore, the conversion for 1 millimeter to kilometers can be stated as

1 mm = 10^{-3} m

1 m = 10^{-3} km

Thus, 1 mm = 10^{-3}×10^{-3} km = 10^{-6} km.

Given the distance of 4012 mm, the corresponding distance in kilometers will be

4012 mm = 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

The distance therefore is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

A simple harmonic wave of wavelength 18.7 cm and amplitude 2.34 cm is propagating along a string in the negative x-direction at
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer

Given:

Wavelength = λ = 18.7 cm

                  = 0.187 m

Amplitude, A = 2.34 cm

Velocity, v = 0.38 m/s

A)  Calculate the angular frequency.

     f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

     f = \dfrac{0.38}{0.187}

     f =2.03\ Hz

Angular frequency,

ω = 2π f

ω = 2π x 2.03

ω = 12.75 rad/s

B) Calculate the wave number:

      K = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

     K= \dfrac{2\pi}{0.187}

    K =33.59\ m^{-1}

C)

Since the wave is traveling in the -x direction, the sign is positive between x and t

y (x, t) = A sin(k x - ω t)

y (x, t) = 2.34 sin(33.59 x - 12.75 t)

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of
Yuliya22 [1153]
Refer to the diagram below.

Ignoring air resistance, use gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter drops with an initial vertical speed u = 0.
At impact with the pad, velocity v satisfies:
v² = 2 × (9.8 m/s²) × (4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

As the pad compresses by 0.5 m to bring the vaulter to rest,
let the average acceleration (deceleration) be a m/s². Then:
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2 × a × 0.5 m
Solving for a gives:
a = - 82.32 / (2 × 0.5) = -82 m/s²

Thus, the deceleration magnitude is 82 m/s².

Two planets having equal masses are in circular orbit around a star. Planet A has a smaller orbital radius than planet B. Which
serg [1198]

Answer:

Explanation:

To approach this problem, we need to understand two key concepts.

First, the gravitational force on an object in orbit equals its mass multiplied by centripetal acceleration.

Secondly, Newton's law of universal gravitation defines the force between two masses: Fg = mMG/r², where Fg denotes gravitational force, m and M signify the masses, G represents the gravitational constant, and r indicates the distance separating the two masses.

Thus:

Fg = m v²/r

mMG/r² = m v²/r

v² = MG/r

Potential energy for each planet is expressed as:

PE = mgr = m (MG/r²) r = mMG/r

Kinetic energy for each planet is computed as:

KE = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m (MG/r) = 1/2 mMG/r

Total mechanical energy is calculated as:

ME = PE + KE = 3/2 mMG/r

Since both planets share the same mass, the only variable is their orbital radius. Consequently, Planet A, with a smaller radius, possesses greater potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy.
