PROBLEMS 1-2: (24 pts.)
A professor, not on this Earth, is lecturing to his class in a monotone at a frequency of 100 Hz
The velocity of sound in the atmosphere is 400 m/s.
P1 (12 pts.)
What is the wavelength of the sound?
P2 (12 pts.)
At what minimum speed and direction must the students move in order to Doppler shift the professor's voice to a frequency too low for them to hear the lecture (in this case below 40 Hz)?

PROBLEM 3: (12 pts.)
PROBLEM 4: (12 pts.)
A 50 kg person, starting at rest, falls vertically (m/s), and lands squarely onto a vertically mounted Hookes' Law spring ( N/m). The spring compresses 2 m before the person comes momentarily to a rest.
What was the initial height of the person above the uncompressed spring?

PROBLEMS 5 (12 pts.)
A merry-go-round is spinning horizontally at 1.0 revolutions per second with a rotational moment of inertia of 400. kg-m (of just the merry-go-round). On the merry-go-round and spinning with it is a 50. kg person standing initially at 2.0 m from the axis of rotation. The person then walks 1.0 m to a position 1.0 m from the axis of rotation and rotates with the merry-go-round.
What is the final angular velocity?

PROBLEM 9: (13 pts.)
An aluminum bar (1.000000 m long, 0.10 m cross-sectional area) just slides into the 1.000000 m gap of a press. The temperature is now raised 10 C. How much pressure must be applied to keep the gap at exactly 1.000000 m. (Possibly useful information: Linear expansion coefficient C, Young's Modulus N/m and Bulk Modulus )

PROBLEM 14: (13 pts.) Two uniform spheres of mass M and radius R are initially held at rest and (from center to center) 8R apart. If they are released, how fast will they be going when they collide (in terms of R, M, G or any combination)?
PROBLEM 15: (13 pts.)
An adiabatic two compartment container, each container having a 10 liter capacity, is filled
with 0.5 mole (per compartment) of an identical
monoatomic idea gas with temperatures of 200 K and 600 K respectively.
By how much does the entropy change if the gas in each chamber is allowed to mix and reestablish thermodynamic equilibrium? (Hint: Mixing and thermal
equilibrium may be done separately.)

PROBLEM 16: (13 pts.)
A tub with 2 kg of water at 0 C is connected through a silver rod, 1 meter long and 0.25 m in cross sectional area, to a thermal reservoir at -50 C. How long it will take the water to freeze?
(The latent heat of fusion for water,
J/kg and the thermal conductivity for silver is 400 W/m C)
