To understand the concept of reactance (of an inductor) and its frequency dependence.
When an inductor is connected to a voltage source that varies sinusoidally, a sinusoidal current will flow through the inductor, its magnitude depending on the frequency. This is the essence of AC (alternating current) circuits used in radio, TV, and stereos. Circuit elements like inductors, capacitors, and resistors are linear devices, so the amplitude I0 of the current will be proportional to the amplitude V0 of the voltage. However, the current and voltage may not be in phase with each other. This new relationship between voltage and current is summarized by the reactance, the ratio of voltage and current amplitudes, V0, and I0: XL=V0/I0, where the subscript L indicates that this formula applies to an inductor.
What is the reactance XL of an inductor?

The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1480 m/s. You are at a depth of 50.0m a. You ping the ocean bottom and receive the echo back 0.125 seconds later. How deep is the ocean at this point? b. If the frequency of the sound is 500.0 Hz, what is the wavelength of the sound? c. The ping coming back to the submarine has an intensity of as -80.0 dB. What is the intensity of the returning sound wave? d. Use the distance in part (b) and the answer in (c) to find the power of the reflected sound.

. Active sonar is used to determine the speed of an oncoming submarine. You send out a signal with a frequency of 500.0Hz. Your submarine is traveling at 13.0 m/s and the enemy is coming towards you at 9.00 m/s. Use the wave i.e. speed of sound as 1480m/s. a. What frequency will be reflected off the enemy? b. What frequency will be received by your submarine from the reflection? c. The enemy stops and sends his own signal of 600.0Hz. You receive his signal at what frequency? You are still moving towards him.

A hockey puck slides on the ice with an initial velocity of vi1 = 5 m/s in the positive x direction. A second hockey puck is sliding to the left with an initial velocity of vi2 = 3 m/s. The two pucks collide and after the collision puck 1 has a final velocity of vf1 = 3 m/s in the positive x direction at an angle of 30 degrees above the positive x axis. Is the collision elastic or inelastic?
Please show all work.

Two rods, one made of brass and the other made of copper, are joined end to end. The length of the brass section is 0.500 m and the length of the copper section is 0.700 m . Each segment has cross-sectional area 0.00700 m2 . The free end of the brass segment is in boiling water and the free end of the copper segment is in an ice-water mixture, in both cases under normal atmospheric pressure. The sides of the rods are insulated so there is no heat loss to the surroundings.
A. What is the temperature of the point where the brass and copper segments are joined?
B.
What mass of ice is melted in 9.00 min by the heat conducted by the composite rod? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
