1. 231 Hz
8. 35 Hz
2. greater than 231 Hz
9. Zero, since hot air damps out the sound.
3. less than 231 Hz correct
Explanation:
It was less than 231 Hz. Tightening the
string increased the frequency of the string,
which brought it into tune with the tuning
fork.

A famous physics classroom demonstration
usually called the Hooter is a tube open at
both ends, with hot air from a heated metal
screen rushing through it. The purpose of the
hot air is to provide a hissing noise with a
broad range of frequencies, one of which will
correspond to the fundamental frequency of
the tube. Suppose that the tube is 2.5 m long
and that the speed of sound in the tube is
350 m/s. Consider a sketch of the resulting
pressure wave p(y, t) in the tube.

A helicopter drops a paratrooper carrying
a siren that emits a 892 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 417 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 .
Correct answer: 390.707 m/s.
Explanation:
Let :
f = 892 Hz ,
f1 = 417 Hz , and
va = 343 m/s .

Having landed on a newly discovered planet,
an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of
length 1.85 m and finds that it makes 168
complete oscillations in 401 s. The amplitude
of the oscillations is very small compared to
the pendulums length.
What is the gravitational acceleration on
the surface of this planet?
Correct answer: 12.8192 m/s2 .
Explanation:
Basic Concept A simple pendulum oscillating with small amplitude has period

T = 2
g
where is the pendulums length and g is the
gravitational acceleration at the pendulums
location. The pendulum in question made
