Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick

up noise, delays it slightly, then rebroadcasts the noise next to your ear where it can interfere with the incoming sound wave of the noise. Suppose you are sitting 1.8 m from an annoying, 200 Hz buzzing sound.
What is the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise?

Answer:

2.5 ms

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{343}{200}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.715\ m

In the case of destructive interference, path difference is given by

x=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.715}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=0.8575\ m

Delay is givenn by

t=\dfrac{x}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{0.8575}{343}\\\Rightarrow t=0.0025\ s

The minimum headphone delay, that will cancel this noise is 2.5 ms

If a 10 meter ramp helps you move a 500 kg object up 1 meter. What was the mechanical advantage of the ramp?
sattari [20]
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

Imagine that a small boy and his much larger father are enjoying a winter morning, sliding along the ice on a nearby playground.
kramer
You can write an hypothesis such as this:
The weight of an object has effects on the operating frictional force, the greater the weight, the higher the operating frictional force.
The father is the one with the higher weight while the son has the lower weight. The operating frictional force is the friction that their weights exert.

attashe74 [19]
The labeled points which is Letter B in the given Image is the point that the axis of rotation passes through. This problem is an example of rotational dynamics, formerly an object moves in a straight line then the motion is translational but when an object at inactivity lean towards to continue at inactivity and an object in rotation be possible to continue rotating with continuous angular velocity unless bound by a net external torque to act then is rotational. In a rotational motion, the entity is not treated as a constituent part but is treated in translational motion. It points out with the study of torque that outcomes angular accelerations of the object.

It requires 49 J of work to stretch an ideal very light spring from a length of 1.4 m to a length of 2.9 m. What is the value of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

44 N/m

Explanation:

The extension, e, of the spring = 2.9 m - 1.4 m = 1.5 m

The work needed to stretch a spring by <em>e</em> is given by

W = \frac{1}{2} ke^2

where <em>k</em> is spring constant.

k = \dfrac{2W}{e^2}

Using the appropriate values,

k = \dfrac{2\times 49\text{ J}}{1.5^2\text{ m}^2} = 43.55\ldots\text{ N/m} \approx 44\text{ N/m}

A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position. Why?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The body's rotational inertia is greater in layout position than in tucked position. Because the body remains airborne for roughly the same time interval in either position, the gymnast must have much greater kinetic energy in layout position to complete the backflip.

Explanation:

A gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.

When the body is straight , its moment of rotational inertia is more than the case when he folds his body round. Hence rotational inertia ( moment of inertia x angular velocity ) is also greater. To achieve that inertia , there is need of greater imput of energy in the form of kinetic energy  which requires greater effort.

So a gymnast's backflip is considered more difficult to do in the layout (straight body) position than in the tucked position.
