Question 1

When the temperature of a copper penny is increased by 100 C$\degree$ its diameter increases by 0.17%. The area of one of its faces increases by:&#10;A) 0.17%&#10;B) 0.34%&#10;C) 0.51%&#10;D) 0.13%&#10;E) 0.27%

Accepted Answer

The area increase is approximately twice the linear expansion percentage because area is a two-dimensional measure. Therefore, if the diameter increases by 0.17%, the area increases by about 2 * 0.17% = 0.34%.

Question 2

Object A, with heat capacity C_A and initially at temperature T_A, is placed in thermal contact with object B, with heat capacity C_B and initially at temperature T_B. The combination is thermally isolated. If the heat capacities are independent of the temperature and no phase changes occur, the final temperature of both objects is:

A) (C_AT_A - C_BT_B)/(C_A + C_B)
B) (C_AT_A + C_BT_B)/(C_A + C_B)
C) (C_AT_A - C_BT_B)/(C_A - C_B)
D) (C_A - C_B)

(C_AT_A + C_BT_B)/(C_A + C_B)

Accepted Answer

The final temperature when two objects are placed in thermal contact in an isolated system is given by the weighted average of their initial temperatures, weighted by their heat capacities. This is because energy is conserved, and the total heat gained by one object must equal the total heat lost by the other.

Question 6

The mathematical forms for the three sinusoidal traveling waves are gives by
Wave 1: y(x,t) = (2 cm) sin (3x - 6t)
Wave 2: y(x,t) = (3 cm) sin (4x - 12t)
Wave 3: y(x,t) = (4 cm) sin (5x - 11t)
Where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Of these waves:

A) wave 1 has the greatest wave speed and the greatest maximum transverse string speed
B) wave 2 has the greatest wave speed and wave 1 has the greatest maxmium transverse string speed
C) wave 3 has the greatest wave speed and the greatest maximum transverse string speed
D) wave 2 has the greatest wave speed and wave 3 has the greatest maximum transverse string speed
E) wave 3 has the greatest wave speed and wave 2 has the greatest maximum transverse string speed

Accepted Answer

Wave speed is given by ω/k. Wave 2 has the greatest wave speed (12/4 = 3 m/s). Maximum transverse speed is given by Aω. Wave 3 has the greatest maximum transverse string speed (4 cm * 11 rad/s = 44 cm/s).

Question 7

Two traveling sinusoidal waves interfere to produce a wave with the mathematical form Y(x,t) = y_m sin(kx + t + $\alpha$). If the value of is appropriately chosen, the two waves might be: A) B) C) D) E)

Accepted Answer

The given wave equation suggests the superposition of two waves with the same amplitude and frequency but potentially different phases. Choice E correctly represents two waves with the same amplitude and frequency, differing only by a phase shift, which aligns with the principle of superposition and interference.

Question 8

Question 10

Five hoops are each pivoted at a point on the rim and allowed to swing as physical pendulums. The masses and radii are
Hoop 1: M = 150g and R = 50 cm
Hoop 2: M = 200g and R = 40 cm
Hoop 3: M = 250g and R = 30 cm
Hoop 4: M = 300g and R = 20 cm
Hoop 5: M = 350g and R = 10 cm
Order the hoops according to the periods of their motions, smallest to largest.

A) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
B) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
C) 1, 2, 3, 5, 4
D) 1, 2, 5, 4, 3
E) 5, 4, 1, 2, 3

Accepted Answer

The period of a physical pendulum is influenced by its moment of inertia and mass distribution. For hoops pivoted at the rim, the moment of inertia is $I = MR^2$, and the period $T$ is proportional to $\sqrt{I/M}$, which simplifies to $\sqrt{R^2}$ or just $R$ for a constant gravitational field. Thus, the hoop with the smallest radius will have the smallest period, and the hoop with the largest radius will have the largest period. Therefore, the order from smallest to largest period is from hoop 5 to hoop 1.
