Church organs have a set of pipes with different lengths. With
those different pipes organs can produce sounds over a wide range
of frequencies. If the lowest frequency produced by an organ is
31.6 Hz, and the highest frequency is 1.80 kHz, then what is the
shortest possible wavelength of sound the organ can produce? Assume
that the speed of sound is 336 m/s.
B) What is the longest possible sound wavelength
the organ can produce?

The small spherical planet called "Glob" has a mass of 6.50×1018 kg and a radius of 5.60×104 m. An astronaut on the surface of Glob throws a rock straight up. The rock reaches a maximum height of 1.64×103 m, above the surface of the planet, before it falls back down.
-What was the initial speed of the rock as it left the
astronaut's hand? (Glob has no atmosphere, so no energy is lost to
air friction. G = 6.67×10-11
Nm2/kg2.)
(in m/s)
-A 33.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of
1.40×105 m around the planet Glob. Calculate the speed
of the satellite.

The first and second formants when you make an "ee" vowel sound are approximately 270 Hz and 2300 Hz . The speed of sound in your vocal tract is approximately 350 m/s . If you breathe a mix of oxygen and helium (as deep-sea divers often do), the speed increases to 810m/s
With this mix of gases, what are the frequencies of the two formants?

. You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.62-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. The basket is 0.61 m long. Where should you place a 1.9-kg half gallon of milk, relative to the left end of the basket, so that the center of mass of your groceries is at the center of the basket?

Q: A child is running at her maximum speed of 4.0 m/s to catch an ice-cream truck, which is stopped at the side of the road. When the child is 20 m from the truck, the ice-cream truck starts to accelerate away at a rate of 1.0 m/s2 . Does the child catch the truck? solve this problem algebraically and graphically.

Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs weakly in the red (hence its red color) and strongly in the near infrared, whereas deoxygenated hemoglobin has the opposite absorption. This fact is used in a "pulse oximeter" to measure oxygen saturation in arterial blood. The device clips onto the end of a person's finger and has two light-emitting diodes—a red (632 nm) and an infrared (930 nm)—and a photocell that detects the amount of light transmitted through the finger at each wavelength.
(a) Determine the frequency of each of these light sources.
red Hz
infrared Hz
(b) If 66% of the energy of the red source is absorbed in the blood, by what factor does the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave change? Hint: The intensity of the wave is equal to the average power per unit area as given by I = Emax2 2μ0c = c 2μ0 Bmax2.
