To compare the hearing capacities of 5 of his friends, Ravi designs a simple experiment. He places a CD player at the end of a l

ong hall containing a CD with 5 well-known songs.
One by one each person hears the same 5 songs he plays softly but at a pre-determined volume.

Each person starts at a distance of 1 metre from the player and moves away from it. The distance at which a person says that he cannot hear the song any more, is noted. Others are not in the room when 1 person is hearing the songs.
Which of these steps may increase the reliability of the results obtained?

A)having each person listen to just 1 song instead of 5
B)allowing all people to stay in the room for the entire experiment
C)having each person start from far and walk towards the C
D )player Dvarying the volume for the different songs being played

Answer:

A) having each person listen to just 1 song instead of 5.

Explanation:

Ravi could accurately use the outcome to compare the hearing capacities of his friends by this experiment if appropriate precautions are observed.

Playing 5 well known songs simultaneously could result to the interference of sounds when each participant moves away from the player. Which could naturally cause the variation in volume of the songs played with respect to the increasing distance.

Therefore, the reliability of the result from this experiment can be increased if each person listen to just 1 song instead of 5 at a predetermined volume. Each participant would be able to focus on hearing a song during the experiment.

Consider the static equilibrium diagram here. What is the angle F1 must make with the horizontal?
Nataly [62]

ANSWER


\theta=35\degree


EXPLANATION


Since the body is in equilibrium, total upward forces must equal total downward force.


Also the net horizontal forces acting on the body must be zero.



We need to resolve F_1 into vertical and horizontal components.



The horizontal component is


x=F_1\cos\theta.


The vertical component is


y=F_1\sin\theta.



Equating the up force to the downward forces gives,


F_1\sin\theta + 20N=60N.


This implies that,



F_1\sin\theta =60N-20N.




F_1\sin\theta=40N...eqn1




Also the horizontal forces must be equal.


F_1\cos\theta=57N...eqn2.



Dividing equation (1) by equation (2) gives,


\frac{F_1\sin\theta}{F_1\cos\theta}=\frac{40}{57}.


\Rightarrow \tan\theta=0.70175





\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}(0.70175)


\Rightarrow \theta=35.0594.




Therefore the given angle that F_1 must make with the horizontal is approximately 35° to the nearest degree.

. A spring has a length of 0.200 m when a 0.300-kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 1.95-kg mass hangs from it
kap26 [50]

Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1  

Explanation:

a) From the restoring Force we know that :  

F_r = —k*x  

the gravitational force :  

F_g=mg  

Where:

F_r is the restoring force .

F_g is the gravitational force

g is the acceleration of gravity

k is the constant force  

xi , x2 are the displacement made by the two masses.

Givens:

<em>m1 = 1.29 kg</em>

<em>m2 = 0.3 kg  </em>

<em>x1   = -0.75 m  </em>

<em>x2 = -0.2 m </em>

<em>g   = 9.8 m/s^2  </em>

Plugging known information to get :

F_r =F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2=m1*g-m2*g

k=29.4 N/m

b) To get the unloaded length 1:  

l=x1-(F_1/k)

Givens:

m1 = 1.95kg , x1 = —0.75m  

Plugging known infromation to get :

l= x1 — (F_1/k)  

= 0.1

bogdanovich [222]
Answer is lead, lead will heat up the fastest as it has the highest specific heat amongst the choices. The higher the specific heat of the substance the easier it is for that substance temperature to change for every mole of substance with respect to a degree in kelvin.

A photon has an energy of 5.53 × 10–17 j. what is its frequency in s–1 (h = 6.63 × 10–34 j • s)?
-BARSIC- [3]
Given: Energy E = 5.53 X 10⁻¹⁷ J;     Velocity of light c = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s

           Planck's constant h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Required: Frequency f = ?

Formula: E = hc/λ  and Frequency f = V/λ

               λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(2.998 X 10⁸ m/s)/(5.53 x 10⁻¹⁷ J)

               λ = 3.59 X 10⁻⁹ m

For Frequency f = ?

               f = c/λ

               f = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s/3.59 x 10⁻⁹m

               f = 8.35 x 10¹⁶ Hz
