Answer in units of m/s 004 10.0 points Two wires are made of the same material but the second wire has twice the diameter and twice the length of the rst wire. When the two wires are stretched, and the tension in the second wire is also twice the tension in the rst wire, the fundamental frequency of the rst wire is 250 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the second wire? Answer in units of Hz 005 10.0 points

008 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A skyrocket explodes 115 m above the ground. Three observers are spaced 97 m apart, with observer A directly under the point of the explosion.

Answer in units of Hz 020 10.0 points A helicopter drops a paratrooper carrying a siren that emits a 859 Hz audible signal. The microphone (reciever) on the plane monitors the signal from the transmitter as the paratrooper falls. If the perceived frequency becomes constant at 421 Hz, what is the terminal speed of the paratrooper? Assume the paratrooper always remains below the helicopter and the velocity of sound in air is 343 m/s .
