Two loudspeakers, a and b, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. the frequency of the waves emitted by each speaker is 172 hz. you are 8.00 m from speaker a. take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. part a what is the closest you can be to speaker b and be at a point of perfectly destructive interference? express your answer in meters.

Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane? a. height of plane / input force b. length of plane / input force c. length of plane / height of plane d. height of plane / length of plane

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
