Phy12 HW2

The document contains multiple physics problems involving the Doppler effect, free fall, resonance, and harmonic motion. Problem 1 involves calculating the observed frequency of a train whistle and car horn due to relative motion. Problem 2 calculates the acceleration due to gravity on the moon using timing data. Problem 3 determines the original resonant frequency and length of a pipe based on measurements of two cut pieces. Problem 4 relates the tension and mass density in a string to the resonant frequency of a pipe.

CALAQUIAN, Carl Alvin M. PHY12/B3 1. A train is moving parallel to a highway with a constant speed of 20 m/s.

A car is traveling in the same direction as the train with a speed of 40 m/s. The car horn sounds at a frequency of 510 Hz and the train whistle sounds at a frequency of 320 Hz. (a) When the car is behind the train what frequency does an occupant of the car observe for the train whistle? (b) After the car passes and is in front of the train, what frequency does a train passenger observe for the car horn?. vair = 332+(0.6)(25) = 347m/s ( ) vl = 40m/s fs = 320 Hz [ ]

February 15, 2012 Homework 2 5. A stone is dropped into a well. The speed of the splash is heard 4 seconds later. What is the depth of the well? Temperature of is 20 C vair = 332+(0.6)(25) = 347m/s ( ( ( )( ))( ) )

vs=20m/s

vair=347 m/s

@t = 3.7949 s ( )( )

fl = 337.44 Hz
( ) vl = 20m/s fs = 510 Hz [ ] vs=40m/s vair=347 m/s

fl = 483.64 Hz
2. An astronaut on the Moon wishes to measure the local value of the free-fall acceleration by timing pulses traveling down a wire that has an object of large mass suspended from it. Assume a wire has a mass of 4 g and a length of 1.60 m, and that a 3-kg object is suspended from it. A pulse requires 36.1 ms to traverse the length of the wire. Calculate gMoon from these data. (You may ignore the mass of the wire when calculating the tension in it.) ( )( )

3.

When an open metal pipe is cut into two pieces, the lowest resonance frequency for the air column in one piece is 256 Hz that for the other is 440 Hz. (a) What resonant frequency would have been produced by the original length of pipe? (b) How long was the original pipe? vair = 332+(0.6)(25) = 347m/s (b) ( ( )( )( ) )

4.

A string has a mass per unit length of 9 103kg/m. What must be the tension in the string if its second harmonic has the same frequency as the second resonance mode of a 2m long pipe open at one end? The length of the string is 1.5 m.
