Answer:

a. 3/4λ

d. 1/4λ

Explanation:

When the wavelength of the sound waves is λ and the two waves are having same frequency the waves are said to be out of phase if their phase difference is in the multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} or 180°.

When the two waves are out of phase then their opposite maxima coincide at the same time resulting in the minimum amplitude of the resulting wave throughout.

  • As we observe from the schematic that the a wave has sinusoidal pattern of variation and we get a maxima after each \frac{\lambda}{4} of the distance.
  • Here we have two speakers out of phase therefore on shifting one of the speakers by the odd multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} we have the maxima or the extreme amplitudes.

So, we must place the microphone at  3/4λ and 1/4λ to pickup the loudest sound.

A 150 g particle at x = 0 is moving at 8.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.850N)sin
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9.98 m/s

Explanation:

The force acting on the particle is defined by the equation:

F=(0.850) sin (\frac{x}{2.00}) [N]

where x is the position in metres.

The acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

m = 150 g = 0.150 kg is the mass of the particle. Substituting into the equation,

a=\frac{0.850}{0.150}sin (\frac{x}{2.00})=5.67 sin(\frac{x}{2.00}) [m/s^2]

When x = 3.14 m, the acceleration is:

a=5.67 sin(\frac{3.14}{2.00})=5.67 m/s^2

Now we can find the final speed of the particle by using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2ax

where

u = 8.00 m/s is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a=5.67 m/s^2

x = 3.14 m is the displacement

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2ax}=\sqrt{8.00^2+2(5.67)(3.14)}=9.98 m/s

And the speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, so 9.98 m/s.

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude
enot [183]
The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}, where v_0=35 m/s
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and with initial velocity v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}. Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

Determine the values of m and n when the following mass of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 5,970,000,000,000,000,00
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Mass of the Earth is equal to,

m=5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg

Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

N=m\times 10^n

m is the real number

n is any integer

Mass of the earth can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

m=5.97\times 10^{24}\ m

Here,

m = 5.97

n = 24

Hence, this is the required solution.
