. 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.

Part 1: Our smoke detectors safe?

Part 2: Radon gas is in an insert gas that is not toxic or poisonous, but is radioactive and emits alpha particles. Why is radon dangerous?

Part 3: What are the advantages and problems with nuclear energy?

Background information: The modern theory of the atom is that the atom consist of a nucleus of protons and neutrons. Electrons surrounding the nucleus, not as particles orbiting the nucleus, but as standing matter waves like the standing waves on a guitar string that has been plucked. As such, there location is not precisely known. Most of the atom is empty space. The total energy of an electron in an atomis quantized meaning it has certain discrete energy values such as 1 or 2 or 3 energy units, but nothing in between like 1, 23 or 2.76 energy units. When an electron in an atom has a transition (i.e. falls) from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, the atom can give off a particle of light called a photon.

With regards to the nucleus, if the ratio of the number of neutrons to the number of protons is greater than about 1. The nucleus is unstable. First, the three main decay products of an unstable or radioactive nucleus are alpha particles, better particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are just then nucleus of a helium atom (2 protons and 2 neutrons). They do not penetrate very far. Dead skin or a sheet of paper can stop them. Beta particles are electrons and can penetrate a thin layer of steel. A 1-cm thick piece of plastic can stop them. Gamma rays are high-energy protons and are very penetrating.

If a radioactive isotope that emits alpha particles is ingested, the living tissue stops them and obsorbes their energy. Smoke detectors contain a radioactive isotope that emits alpha particles.

Considering the illustrations for Concave and Convex mirrors.

Prove using geometry that the reflected rays reach the focal point f=R/2 in the limit as the incoming rays approach the principal axis.

Hint: Consider the triangle formed by the radius of curvature, principal axis, and reflected ray, and use the law of sines.

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.
