Phys 220 Final Exam Dec. 11, 2012 1. What s the fastest way to make a U-turn at constant speed? Suppose that you need to make a 180 turn on a circular path. The minimum radius (due to the car s steering system) is 5.0 m, while the maximum (due to the width of the road) is 20.0 m. Your acceleration must never exceed 3.0 m/s 2 or else you will skid. Should you use the smallest possible radius, so the distance is small, or the largest, so you can go faster without skidding, or something in between? What is the minimum possible time for this U-turn? A. largest, 3.6 s B. smallest, 3.1 s C. smallest, 4.1 s D. largest, 5.2 s E. largest, 4.1 s 2. One balloon contains exactly 3 moles of helium atoms, and a second balloon contains exactly 3 moles of argon atoms. The mass of an argon atom is about 9 times greater that the mass of a helium atom. If the internal energies of these two systems are equal, what can we conclude? A. They must have the same temperature. B. They must have the same volume. C. They must have the same pressure. D. They must have the same pressure, volume, and temperature. E. None of the above.

Doppler ultrasound is used to measure the speed of blood flow. If the speed of the red blood cells is v, the velocity of sound in blood is c, the ultrasound source emits waves of frequency f, and we assume that the blood cells are moving directly toward the ultrasound source, then the frequency f r of reflected waves detected by the apparatus is given by f r = f(1 + v/c)/(1 v/c). Suppose the reflected sound interferes with the emitted sound, producing beats. If the speed of red blood cells is 0.10 m/s, the ultrasound frequency used is 5.0 MHz, and the velocity of sound in blood is 1570 m/s, what is the beat frequency? A. 5.1 MHz B. 640 Hz C. 610 Hz D. 5.2 MHz E. 650 Hz
