Yes. That's exactly the process used by those expensive "noise-canceling" headphones

that do such a great job when you want to listen to your CD on an airplane.

How can a plane fly using 3rd law of motion?

A plane can fly using the third law of motion by generating lift through its wings. As the plane moves forward, the wings deflect air downward, creating an equal and opposite reaction force that lifts the plane upward. This is based on Newton's third law which states that each action has an equal and opposite reaction.


Write an Experiment to verify laws of reflection of sound?

Set up a sound source and a microphone on opposite sides of a smooth, hard surface. Emit a sound wave from the source and measure the angle of incidence and angle of reflection using a protractor. Repeat the experiment for different angles of incidence and observe that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, confirming the law of reflection of sound.


What is the transfer of energy to an object using a force that causes the object to move in the other direction of the force?

That is an example of Newton's third law of motion, where for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a force is applied to an object, the object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction, causing it to move.


What is sir isaac newtons third law of motion?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force back on the first object that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.


How do noise cancelling headphones work from a physics perspective?

Noise cancelling headphones work by using a microphone to pick up external sounds, then creating sound waves that are the exact opposite of those external sounds. When these opposite sound waves are played through the headphones, they cancel out the external noise, resulting in a quieter listening experience. This process is known as destructive interference.

True or false The key to using the elimination method is to find variable terms in the two equations that have equal or opposite coefficients?

True


What is the key to using the elimination method to find variable terms in the two equations that have equal or opposite coefficients?

Eliminate the variables that have equal coefficients but opposite in sign.x + 2y = 103x - 2y = 14Or you can work to have one of the variables with equal coefficients but opposite in sign such as:3x + 2y = 5x + y = 2 multiply by -2 to both sides3x + 2y = 5-2x - 2y = -4


Can you make a movie screenplay about a cancelled tv show?

If you're using "a cancelled TV show" as a concept, sure. If you're using characters, storylines, etc. of an actual TV show that was cancelled, you're going to want permission from the producer of the show.


How do you use two lines to make 4 equal parts in a square?

Connect a line from the middle of one side to the middle of the opposite side. Repeat using the other 2 sides and you will be left with 4 smaller, equal sized squares. You can also connect opposite corners and you will be left with 4 equal sized triangles.
