1. Bats use echolocation to navigate through their surroundings. The Vespertiliondae family of bats emit short chirps as they fly. The chirps last about 0.003 seconds with a time interval of 0.070 seconds between chirps. Calculate the farthest object that can be detected by these bats. A. 12 m B. 24 m C. 36 m D. 48 m E. 96 m 2. Two loudspeakers radiate in phase at 170 Hz. A physics student sits 8 m from one speaker and 12 m from the other. The intensity level from either speaker alone is 60dB. The student measures the intensity level when both speakers are on. What will the sound meter read? A. 0 dB B. 60 dB C. 63 dB D. 66 dB E. 69 dB 3. A stretched string of length L is observed to vibrate in five antinodes when driven by a 6.60x10^2 Hz mechanical vibrator. At what frequency are 3 antinodes observed? A. 11.0x10^2 Hz B. 825 Hz C. 528 Hz D. 396 Hz E. 176 Hz 4. Three long parallel wires are at the corners of an equilateral triangle. The current in each wire is 7.5A. Each side of the triangle is 0.10 m long. Assuming the upper wire is 1.0m long, calculate the magnitude of the force on the upper wire due to the lower wires. Note: the cross means that the current is into the page and a dot means that the current is out of the page. A. 1.1x10-4^ N B. 1.9x10-4^ N C. 2.2x10-4^ N D. 3.5x10-4^ N E. 6.0x10-4^ N 5. Calculate the magnetic field at the upper vertex (refer to the figure of problem 6) due to the lower wires. A. 4.8x10-6^ T B. 1.5x10-5^ T C. 2.6x10-5^ T D. 3.0x10-5^ T E. 3.4x10-5^ T
