Two radio antennas are 140 m apart on a north-south line. The two antennas radiate in phase at a frequency of 5.2 MHz. All radio measurements are made far from the antennas. The smallest angle, reckoned east of north from the antennas, at which constructive interference of two radio waves occurs, is closest to:

At rest, a car's horn sounds the note A (440 Hz). The horn is sounded while the car is moving down the street. A bicyclist moving in the same direction with one-third the car's speed hears a frequency of 403 Hz.

(a) Is the cyclist ahead of or behind the car?

ahead/behind    


(b) What is the speed of the car?

The mattress of a water bed has a length of 2.00 m, a width of 2.00 m and a depth of 30.0 cm. Find the weight of the water on the mattress and find the pressure exerted by the water on the floor when the bed is in its normal position. Assume that the entire lower part of the bed makes contact with the floor.

1.If the bed were replaced by another that has a weight of 300 lbs and is supported by the four legs that have a diameter of 2.00 cm. What pressure does the bed exert on the surface?

a.5.00 x 105 Pa
b.4.5 x 105 Pa
c.6.0 x 104 Pa
d.2.7 x 105 Pa

2.The fluid presented in the exercise is a fluid:

a.Turbulent
b.Laminate
c.Incompressible
d.Viscous

A person's lower leg is 1 meter long and has a mass of 9.5kg. It is allowed to swing freely. If the leg is treated as a simple pendulum with a length equal to the length of the leg, using T = 2pi square root of L/g root of 2/3

Then, estimate the typical human walking speed based on your result, making clear any assumptions/estimates you make.
