Industrial espionage on a distance planet (temperature and atmosphere is unknown) provides the information that successive resonances in a pipe are 210 and 294 Hz. The pipe is 5 m long, but it’s not known whether or not the pipe is open at both ends or only at one end. What is the pipe’s fundamental resonance frequency? The answer is 42Hz

Astronauts on a distant planet toss a rock into the air. With the aid of a camera that takes pictures at a steady rate, they record the height of the rock as a function of time as given in the table below. (Do the following in a computer spreadsheet or programming environment. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

(a) Find the average velocity of the rock in the time interval between each measurement and the next.

(b) Using these average velocities to approximate instantaneous velocities at the midpoints of the time intervals, make a graph of velocity as a function of time.

(c) Does the rock move with constant acceleration?

Yes or No?   


If so, plot a straight line of best fit on the graph and calculate its slope to find the acceleration. (If not, enter 0, and "no direction".)

two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.70nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.50nC , are separated by a distance of 39.0cm . An electron is released from rest at the point midway between the two charges, and it moves along the line connecting the two charges. What is the speed vfinal of the electron when it is 10.0cm from charge 1?

Consider two coherent monochromatic sources of light of wavelength (lambda) centered at the origin and located at (0, 0,-d) and (0,0,+d). Show that the locus of points, satisfying either the condition for constructive or destructive interference, form a family of hyperboloids of revolution (one for each value of m) with the foci located at the sources. Do this by deriving the equation for the hyperboloid of revolution in Cartesian coordinates (1pt) and locating the focus points (0.5pts). Additionally, what does the surface look like for constructive interference when m=0? Prove your answer (0.5pts). You are not allowed to skips steps by using Wolfram or any other math software (in other words don�t skip important steps).

To be rescued from the roof of a burning building, a62-kg man must be able to jump straight up and catch hold of a rope ladder hanging from a helicopter. He has to raise his center of mass2.00 m above the roof to do so.

If he crouches down such that his center of mass is 0.50 m above the roof and his feet leave the roof when his center of mass is 1.05 m above the roof, what minimum force must he exert on the roof to reach the ladder?

A typical candy bar contains about Ecandy = 900 kJ of food energy. How many candy bars does this jump require?

A mass of 6 kg is placed on an incline with a coefficient of static friction of 1.80 and coefficient of kinetic friction of 1.28. No additional forces are acting on it and it is raised slowly from a small angle and it begins to slide at some angle. If 10 degrees is added to this angle, and the mass started from rest from a vertical height of 28 meters, how much longer would it take to travel down the incline to the bottom compared to if there was no friction on the incline? Answer in seconds.

Two solenoids are nested coaxially such that their magnetic fields point in opposite directions. Treat the solenoids as ideal. The outer one has a radius of 20 mm, and the radius of the inner solenoid is 10 mm. The length, number of turns, and current of the outer solenoid are, respectively, 20.3 cm, 553 turns, and 4.17 A. For the inner solenoid the corresponding quantities are 19.3 cm, 383 turns, and 1.35 A.

At what speed, v1, should a proton be traveling, inside the apparatus and perpendicular to the magnetic field, if it is to orbit the axis of the solenoids at a radius of 6.83 mm?

And at what speed, v2, for an orbital radius of 14.9 mm?
