You visit a national park with your friend one weekend. You encounter an old railroad tunnel which is very dark and you are not sure if the tunnel is blocked on the other end. You happen to have a frequency generator app on your cell phone frequency. You decide that to generate resonances in the tunnel with your app. You hear successive resonances at 55Hz, 57.5 Hz, 60Hz, 62.5 Hz …etc. (I) Can you use this information alone to determine if the tunnel opened or closed at the other end? (II) What is the length of the tunnel? (III) What is the maximum number of resonances you can produce in this tunnel between 50 Hz and 100 Hz?   Use 343.0 m/s for the speed of sound in air. (

Scenario: In April a friend stops by to visit. The conversation turns to gardening, and your friend tells you he tried to get an early start on his vegetable garden by starting seeds inside his house back in February. He reports to you that he has had little success. Only a few seeds had sprouted, but many did not. The seeds that did germinate, with a couple of exceptions, did very poorly. Most of the seeds he planted were from...

Over the weekend, your friend Boutros decided to stay home and put the finishing touches on a research paper he's been working on for the last four weeks. A friend texted saying he needed some help with how to cite sources. Boutros happily sent him some examples. When his friend texted back, he said a bunch of their friends was going to ride go-carts. Boutros had never driven a go-cart, so he was very interested in trying this new thing...

Some geysers such as Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park are remarkably consistent in the periodicity of their eruption. For example, in 1988, 6,900 timed intervals between eruptions for Old Faithful averaged 76.17 minutes, with the shortest observed interval 41 minutes and the longest 114 minutes. In the past 120 years Old Faithful's yearly average interval has always been between 60 and 79 minutes. It is also well known that the relationship between the length of the eruption and the...

You and a group of friends are planning to visit a theme park, which charges $60 for admission, $80 for a two-day pass, and $90 for a three-day pass. Your friends are interested in spending a lot of time there, but they’re worried about paying a lot of money. You explain the concept of marginal cost, which helps them see that the additional day is a good value. 1. The average cost per day of a three-day pass is   $   per person....
