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".

A uniform rectangular plate is hanging vertically downward from a hinge that passes along its left edge. By blowing air at 11.0
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The airspeed must be 7.78 m/s for the rectangular plate kept at 30°.

Explanation:

By looking at the images below wee see that the airspeed on one side of the rectangular plate decreases the statical pressure over this side. Since over the downside, the pressure still bein the atmospheric pressure. This difference in pressure produces a lift force in the plate. The list force is the net force obtained between the difference of the forces that produce the pressure over the upside and the downside:

F_{lift}=F_{up} - F_{dw}=0.5*p*V^2

Where up and down relate to what movement the forces produce. And p and V are the respective air density and velocity.

When the plate is kept horizontal the lift force balance the moment due to the weight of the plate and considering that both forces act at the same point:

F_{lift}=0.5*p*V^2=W

By replacing the known values it is possible to find the plate's weight:

F_{lift}=0.5*1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*(11 m/s)^2=W

W=72.6 N

When the plate kept to 30° from the vertical the moment equation balance is written as:

F_{lift}=0.5*p*V^2=W*sen(30\°)

The sine of 30° is due to the weight is 30° oriented, therefore the new value for the airspeed is:

V=\sqrt(W*sen(30\°)/0.5p)

V=\sqrt(\frac{72.6 N * 0.5}{0.5*1.2 kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{N}{kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{m^2}{s^2})

V= 7.78 m/s

You hang an object with mass m = 0.380 kg from a vertical spring that has negligible mass and force constant k = 60.0 N/m. You p
joja [24]

Answer:

a) 0.500 s

b) greater than 0.500 s

c) greater than 0.500 s

Explanation:

The time period of an oscillating spring-mass system is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where, m is the mass and k is the spring constant.

a) As the period of oscillation does not depend on the distance by which the mass is pulled, the period would remain same as 0.500 s for the given system.

b) As the period varies inversely with the square root of spring constant, so with the decrease in the spring constant, the period would increase. So, the new period would be greater than 0.500 s.

c) As the period varies directly with the square root of mass, so with the increase in mass, the period will also increase. The new period will be greater than 0.500 s.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

  • There are a number of body cells that are composed of a way different components or we can say elements, as there are bone cells know to be more brittle or we can say less flexible as compared to the cartilaginous cells inside the human body's structure. While, the different cells are name differently by the scientists or the professionals who worked on them. Such as the osteoblasts are the bone cells which are composed of very rigid and dense form of matrix inside its structure, this provides the rigidness to the whole body structure of the living beings body.
  • Alison was looking at a tissue under the microscope. It had cells within lacuna and the matrix was glassy looking, he was thus observing <u>the chondrocytes(the cartilaginous cells inside the animal body).</u>
  • While, there are different connective tissues which mainly functions to provide a more connected form of body structure, and the organs are well organized by the connective tissues which brings texture and connective to one another. While, the more flexible form of body cells the chondrocytes are there to enhance the development of the cartilaginous structure inside the living body. As, the provide the required flexibility to the body structure to move more freely and perform locomotion in the desired angle and direction.
