A trumpet player on a moving railroad flatcar moves toward a second trumpet player standing alongside the track while both play a 330 Hz note. The sound waves heard by a stationary observer between the two players have a beat frequency of 5.0 beats/s. What is the flatcar's speed? (The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.)

On a cold day, when the air temperature is 0°c, you empty your lungs and take a deep breath, filling your lungs with 4.2 l of air. if you hold your breath until the temperature of the air in your lungs reaches 37°c, what is the volume of the air in your lungs at that point, assuming the pressure does not change?

If the temperature were raised very high, classically what would we expect the heat capacity per object to be for this one-dimensional system? give a numerical value. chigh t = __ j/k/object (one reason for the discrepancy is that the high-temperature limit assumes that the number of oscillators is large (n > > 1), which is not the case in this tiny system.)

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
