Your cousin’s voice sound different over the telephone than it does in person. This is because telephones

     do not transmit frequencies over about 3000 Hz. Since 3000 Hz is well above the normal frequency of

     speech, why does eliminating these high frequencies change the sound of your cousin’s voice? Carefully

     provide the reasoning behind your answer.

A horizontal pipe of diameter 0.768 m has a smooth constriction to a section of diameter 0.4608 m. The density of oil flowing in the pipe is 821 kg/m3 . If the pressure in the pipe is 7120 N/m2 and in the constricted section is 5340 N/m2 , what is the rate at which oil is flowing? Answer in units of m3/s.

Three capacitors, all initially without any dielectrics inserted, of C1 = 4 micro-farads, C2 = 10 micro-farads, and C3 = 10 micro-farads, are connected purely in series to a battery and the total stored energy of all three capacitors is 248 micro-joules. Then, the plates of C1 are brought closer by a factor of 3 and a dielectric with a dielectric constant of 1.9 is inserted into C2 while still connected in series to the same battery. (C3 does not change at all.) How much does the total stored energy of all three capacitors increase in micro-joules after the capacitors are changed? Not the factor change... how much does the stored energy go up in value. step by step please and thank you!

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.5 m above the street below (see figure). The vertical wall of the building is h = 7.80 m high, forming a 1.3-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of θ = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. (Give your answer to two decimal places to reduce rounding errors in later parts.) m/s (b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall. m (c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.

1. Before working this problem, review Conceptual Example 14. A pellet gun is fired straight downward from the edge of a cliff that is 12 m above the ground. The pellet strikes the ground with a speed of 28 m/s. How far above the cliff edge would the pellet have gone had the gun been fired straight upward?

2.  An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +10 m/s and measures a time of 24.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (Indicate direction by the sign of the acceleration.)
