14.1.6 Quiz: Conservation of Momentum
2 Points
Two skaters, at rest and facing each other, push off each other. Their initial
velocities and momenta are zero, but their final momenta are not. How can
the total initial momentum (which is zero) equal the total final momentum,
since both skaters are now moving? (Remember that momentum is a vector.)
A. One skater must be much larger than the other.
B. Momentum is not conserved in this case.
C. This is not an isolated system, so the conservation law does not
apply.
D. The skaters are moving in opposite directions. One momentum is
positive and the other negative, so their values add up to zero.

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
