A skyrocket explodes 127 m above the ground. Three observers arespaced 128 m apart, with observer A directly under the point of theexplosion. Find the ratio of the sound intensity heard by observerA to that heard by observer B. For practical purpose, you may treateach observer as a point on the ground.

1) [10 pts) On a long trip that you take to forget for a while about physics, you find yourself driving directly towards a canyon wall. You've previously noticed that your car horn has a frequency of 440 Hz. You glance at the speedometer and notice you're moving at 30 km/h. a. What is your horn's frequency as heard by a person standing motionless at the base of the canyon? b. What will be the beat frequency that you (in the car) will hear between the car horn's sound and the reflected sound from the wall? (Take the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s. Be careful in part b) - there are two Doppler shifts).

Two 350.0-W speakers, A and B, are separated by a distance D = 3.41m. The speakers emit in-phase sound waves at a frequency f =11800.0 Hz. Point P1 is located at x1= 4.51 m and y1 = 0 m; pointP2 is located at x2 = 4.51 m and y2 = –?y.
a) Neglecting speaker B, what is the intensity, IA1 (in W/m2), ofthe sound at point P1 due to speaker A? Assume that the sound fromthe speaker is emitted uniformly in all directions.
b) What is this intensity in terms of decibels (sound level,ßA1)?
c) When both speakers are turned on, there is a maximum in theircombined intensities at P1. As one moves toward P2, this intensityreaches a single minimum and then becomes maximized again at P2.How far is P2 from P1, that is, what is ?y? You may assume that L>> y and that D >> y, which will allow you to simplifythe algebra by using (a±b)1/2 ˜ a1/2 ± 0.5b/a1/2 when a >> b.

Walking by a pond, you find a rope attached to a stout tree limb that is 5.2 m above ground level. You decide to use the rope to swing out over the pond. The rope is a bit frayed, but supports your weight. You estimate that the rope might break if the tension is 80 N greater than your weight. You grab the rope at a point 4.6 m from the limb and move back to swing out over the pond. (Model yourself as a point particle attached to the rope 4.6 m from the limb.) (a) What is the maximum safe initial angle between the rope and the vertical at which it will not break during the swing? (b) If you begin at this maximum angle, and the surface of the pond is 1.2 m below the level of the ground, with what speed will you enter the water if you let go of the rope when the rope is vertical?
