You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same soun

d of frequency 170 Hz in phase with each other. Describe what happens when you walk 1.5 m directly toward one of the speakers. Assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Also assume you can't hear any sounds except those produced by the speakers.
A. You begin by hearing a loud sound that gets quieter until you can't hear it anymore. Then it gets louder again until it is as loud as where you started. Then it gets quieter again until you can't hear it anymore.
B. You begin by hearing nothing, but the sound gets louder.
C. You begin by hearing nothing, but the sound gets louder. Then it gets quieter again until you can't hear it anymore.
D. You begin by hearing a loud sound that gets quieter until you can't hear it anymore.
E.You begin by hearing a loud sound that gets quieter until you can't hear it anymore. Then it gets louder again until it is as loud as where you started.
F. You begin by hearing nothing, but the sound gets louder. Then it gets quieter again until you can't hear it anymore. Then it gets louder again.

Answer:

Explanation:

The wavelength of sound can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = velocity / frequency.

Thus, it becomes:

λ = 340 / 170

λ = 2 m.

When the person stands ideally in the center between the speakers, the sound waves reaching him are perfectly aligned (no path difference), resulting in maximum sound intensity.

As he moves closer to one of the speakers, his proximity to that speaker increases while the distance to the other speaker decreases, creating a path difference in the sound waves reaching his ears.

If he walks 0.5 m toward one speaker, the created path difference becomes:

0.5 x 2 = 1 m.

This path difference equals λ / 2, leading to destructive interference, resulting in minimal sound being audible.

As he continues walking a full 1 m, the created path difference totals 2 m.

This corresponds to a path difference of λ, causing constructive interference and maximum sound perception.

Finally, if he moves an additional 1.5 m, the resulting path difference increases to 3 m.

Thus, we arrive at a path difference of 3 λ / 2, producing destructive interference once more, leading to minimum sound being perceived again.

In summary, the man begins at a maximum intensity point, moves to minimum intensity, then back to a maximum, and ultimately ends at another minimum sound intensity position.

Maru [3345]

Answer:

A) 5.1*10^10m B) 5.4*10^6m

Explanation:

Utilizing the formula for surface radiation P (energy per second in Watts) = emissivity constant * surface area * Stefan-Boltzmann constant * Temperature in Kelvin^4 *

2.7*10^31 = 1* 5.67*10^-8*A*11000^4

Rearranging to solve for A = 2.7*10^31 / (5.67*10^-8*1.46*10^16) = 0.3261*10^23m^2

Assuming the shape is spherical, the surface area is = 4πR^2 (radius of Rigel)

R = √(0.3261*10^23 / 4*π) = 5.1 * 10^10m

B) repeating the same calculation

2.1 *10^23 = 1*A*5.67*10^-8*10000^4 where A is the surface area of Procyon

Rearranging gives A = 2.1*10^23/(5.67*10^-8*10^16)

A = 0.37*10^15

Assuming the star is spherical;

A = 4πR^2 where R is Procyon's radius

R = √(0.37*10^15/4π) = 5.4*10^6m

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind
Yuliya22 [3333]

The speed resulting from the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Reasoning:

We can determine the plane's resultant speed using the Pythagorean Theorem because the two speeds form a right angle (creating a right triangle).

Thus, the computation is as follows:

ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}

ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}

Consequently, the plane's resultant speed is (3) 226 m/s

Have a wonderful day!

A student wants to determine the coefficient of static friction μ between a block of wood and an adjustable inclined plane. Of t
serg [3582]

Response:

A protractor to gauge the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal

Explanation:

The student must elevate the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object just begins to slide and record the angle at that precise moment. At this juncture, the frictional force is balanced by the weight component aligned with the incline. That is:

f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)

and  w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)

Consequently, the coefficient of static friction can be entirely established by calculating the tangent of the angle formed by the incline with the horizontal.

f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)

For this, the sole additional tool needed is a protractor for angle measurement.
