AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a 2004 AP Physics problem related to waves and sound, specifically addressing the relative phase of sound waves from two speakers at different distances. The question involves calculating the phase difference based on a wavelength of 1 meter, with one speaker 1 meter away and the other 1.5 meters away. Participants are encouraged to analyze how the difference in distance affects the sound waves' interference and resultant amplitude. Understanding these concepts is crucial for mastering wave behavior in preparation for the AP test. The discussion aims to clarify these physics principles for high school students preparing for college-level examinations.

And i am only in high school, but since the AP test is based at the college level i thought it made sense to post it here.
 
Say the wavelength is 1 m. If you are 1 m away from one of the speakers and 1.5 m away from the other, what do you know about the relative phase of the two sound waves you're hearing? What will their sum be? This should help you with part b.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
