Two speakers both emit sound of frequency 320 Hz, and are in phase. A receiver sits 2.3 m from one speaker, and 2.9 m from the o

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The phase difference is found by subtracting the 2.3m for the receiver from the other speaker which is 2.9m hence

Phase difference= 2.9-2.3= 0.6

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

$\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}$

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

$v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s$

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n

Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m$

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

$f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz$

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m$

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m$

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m$

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m$

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz$
