Explanation Given info: The loudspeaker A and B are having same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase, the frequency of the waves emitted by each speaker is 860 Hz , the point P is 12.0 m from A and 13.4 m from B and the speed of the sound in air is 344 m/s . The fully constructive interface occurs when, Δ L λ = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ (I) Δ L is the path difference. λ is the wavelength. x is the interface. The fully destructive interface occurs when, Δ L λ = 0.5 , 1.5 , 2.5 , 3.5 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ (II) Formula to calculate the path difference of speaker A and B at the point P is, Δ L = L 2 − L 1 Δ L is the path difference. L 2 is the distance of the point P from B . L 1 is the distance of the point P from A . Substitute 13.4 m for L 2 and 12

13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…
