These two waves travel along the same string: y1 = (3.52 mm) sin(1.75?x - 470?t) y2 = (5.93 mm) sin(1.75?x - 470?t + 0.736?rad).

What are (a) the amplitude and (b) the phase angle (relative to wave 1) of the resultant wave? (c) If a third wave of amplitude 5.48 mm is also to be sent along the string in the same direction as the first two waves, what should be its phase angle in order to maximize the amplitude of the new resultant wave?

A freestyle skier is training for the Olympics. In this sport the skier starts at the top of the hill and skis straight towards a ramp. She then skis up the ramp and launches herself into the air. The skier and skis have a total mass of 70 kg. The coefficient between the skis and the snow is .05. The downhill slope is at a 40 degree angle to the horizontal.

a) Draw the free body diagram of the skier going down the hill(include all the forces acting on the skier)

b) The distance from the start of the run to the start of the uphill ramp is 40 m. What is the velocity of the skier as she enters the ramp?

c) The ramp is directed upwards from the slope at an angle of 70 degrees. Draw the free body diagram of the skier going up the ramp(the angle of the ramp should be from the horizontal)

d) The ramp is 10 m long. It has the same coefficient of dynamic friction as the slope. What is the skier's resultant velocity as she leaves the ramp?

e) What is the vertical height at the end of the ramp from the horizontal?

f) What is the skier's horizontal and vertical velocity as she leaves the ramp?

g) How high does the skier get off the ground during the jump?

h) Since she lands in water, the water level is the same level as the base of the ramp. How long is she in the air?

i) What is her horizontal translation from the end of the ramp until she enters the water?

An insulated cylinder fitted with a movable piston to maintain constant pressure initially contains 100 g of ice at -10 C. Heat is supplied to the contents at a constant rate by a 100 W heater. Make a graph showing temperature of the cylinder contents as a function of time starting at t = 0, when the temperature is -10 C and ending when the temperature is 110 C. ( c = 2.0 kJ/ kg K for specific heat of ice from -10 to 0 C and of the steam from 100 to 110 C)

A tank circuit in a radio transmitter is a series RCL circuit connected to an antenna. The antenna broadcasts radio signals at the resonant frequency of the tank circuit. Suppose that a certain tank circuit in a shortwave radio transmitter has a fixed capacitance of 1.2 x 10-11 F and a variable inductance. If the antenna is intended to broadcast radio signals ranging in frequency from 4.6 MHz to 8.4 MHz, find the (a) minimum and (b) maximum inductance of the tank circuit
