Physics 1101 Multiple choice

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1) You are driving along a highway at 25 m/s when you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle traveling in the opposite direction on the other side of the highway.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. A) 30 m/s B) 41 m/s C) 32 m/s D) 37 m/s Two unknowns Solve for f Substitute in equation 2 into equation 1

2) A camper is about to drink his morning coffee. He pours 400 grams of coffee, initially at 75. 0 e. C, into a 250 -g aluminum cup, initially at 16. 0 e. C.

C D) 62. 0 e. C

3) If you add 1. 73 MJ of heat to 700 g of water at 70 e. C, what is the final temperature of the steam? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22. 6 þ 10 to power of (exponent) J/kg. The specific heat of steam is 2010 J/(kg K). A) 123 e. C B) 143 e. C C) 100 e. C D) 147 e. C First find how many joules it take to bring water to boil. Subtract this from the heat being supplied. Remember the heat being supplied is 1730000 J Now use this to find the final temperature of the steam Now solve for tf 3)

4) The intensity level of a power mower at a distance of 1. 0 m is 100 d. B. You wake up one morning to find that four of your neighbors are mowing their lawn 20 m from your open bedroom window. What is the intensity level in your bedroom? A) 400 d. B B) 50 d. B C) 80 d. B D) 104 d. B Note that the intensity level is in db. So you will have to change it to W/m 2 Io=1 * 10 -12 W/m 2. Now you will have to change it back to db.

5) A 42. 0 -g block of ice at -15. 0 e. C is dropped into a calorimeter containing water at 15. 0 e. C. When equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 8. 0 e. C.

6) Two strings of identical mass per unit length are stretched with the same tension with their ends fixed, but one string is 0. 33 cm longer than the other. Waves on these strings propagate at 36. 4 m/s. The fundamental frequency of the shorter string is 258 Hz. What is the beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency? A) 12. 7 Hz B) 12. 0 Hz C) 11. 3 Hz D) 11. 5 Hz

7) A 400 -g piece of metal at 130 o. C is dropped into a cup containing 450 g of water at 15. 0 o. C. The final temperature of the system is 40. 0 o. C.

8) The speed of sound through the ground is about 6. 0 km/s while the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. A very powerful explosion occurs some distance away and you feel the ground vibrate 60 seconds before you hear the sound of the explosion. How far away is the explosion? A) 20 km B) 25 km C) 22 km D) 27 km

9) The wave speed in an aluminum wire with a radius of 1. 00 mm is 120 m/s. What is the tension in the wire? The density of aluminum is 2. 70 x 103 kg/m 3. A) 112 N B) 122 N C) 427 N D) 134 N Note to solve this problem it will take a little rearranging of various formulas, so pay attention to the algebra. M=ρV V=AL The lengths will cancel here and A=πr 2. Square both sides to get rid of the root sign.
