Sam is conducting an experiment in a closed room. He places two sound-generating instruments, A and B, in different places in th

e room. Both instruments generate sound waves of the same amplitude and at the same time. Sam is holding a recording device that records a louder sound from instrument A than from instrument B. What could have caused this mismatch in loudness?
Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B.
Instrument B is placed closer to Sam than instrument A.
The sound wave generated by instrument A has a higher pitch.
The sound wave generated by instrument B has a higher pitch.
The sound wave generated by instrument B has a higher wavelength.

Answer: The correct answer is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".

Explanation:

The sound can be soft or loud. Loudness depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. Higher the amplitude, more will be loudness. Lower the amplitude, lesser will be loudness.

Pitch depends on the frequency.

In the given problem, the instruments A and B generate sound waves of the same amplitude and at the same time.

Loudness depends on the sound energy produced as the energy of the sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. It also depends on the distance between the source and the receiver.

Sam records a louder sound from instrument A than from instrument B. It means that there is mismatch in loudness. It can happen due to the placement of the instrument A closer to Sam than instrument B.

Therefore, the correct option is "Instrument A is placed closer to Sam than instrument B".

Calculate a pendulum's frequency of oscillation (in Hz) if the pendulum completes one cycle in 0.5 s.
Marina86 [1]
Time taken to complete one oscillation for a pendulum is Time Period, T = 0.5 s 
Frequency of the pendulum oscillation = 1 / Time Period => f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.5  
Frequency f = 2 Hz

What is the Physics Primer?
Elza [17]

Answer:

A. a set of mathematically topics that are relevant to introductory physics.

Explanation:

The physics primer is not defined as the online comprehensive mathematics textbooks. It is the set of topics of mathematics which gives students trouble and remember.

Therefore, it is defined as the process of physics problem solving. So, mathematically skills are covered in physics course as a primer related success.

Therefore, it is a set of topics of mathematics that are relevent to introductory physics.

Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of what ?
Vlad1618 [11]
Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of electric charge. An electric current is the flow of electric charge. An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. The flow of ions also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.
