You blow across the open mouth of an empty test tube and produce the fundamental standing wave of the air column inside the test tube. the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s and the test tube acts as a stopped pipe. a) if the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave? b) what is the frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the air column if the test tube is half-filled with water?

The “death throes” of stars are amongst the most complex phenomena in all of astronomy, and the “corpses” of stars amongst the most energetic and exotic objects in existence. beginning at the end of the core helium fusion stage in a star’s life, describe in detail the post-main sequence development of both (a) a 1.0 solar mass star, and (b) a 25.0 solar mass star. in what significant ways do they differ? what role does each of these types of stars play in the "star-gas-star" cycle and the evolution of chemical elements in our galaxy?

The extremely high temperatures needed to trigger nuclear fusion are proposed to be generated by laser irradiating a spherical pellet of deuterium and tritium fuel of diameter 1.8 mm. (a) determine the maximum fuel temperature that can be achieved by irradiating the pellet with 200 lasers, each producing a power of 550 w. the pellet has an absorptivity 0.3 and emissivity 0.8.

For problems 1-3, consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet stator. with an an consider a simple dc brush motor with a permanent magnet ae supply voltage of 100 v, the no-load speed of the motor is 1000 rpm. this motor can provide a torque of 1.9 n-m at 800 rpm drawing a current of 2 a current are both zero at no load.) 1. with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 900 rpm. what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input? what is the energy efficiency of the motor? with an armature supply voltage of 100 v, the motor is operated at 1100 rpm (where it acts as a generator). what torque input is required? what mechanical power is required what current is generated? what is the electrical power generated? what is the energy efficiency of the motor acting as a generator? 2. with an armature supply voltage raised to 120 v, the motor is operated at 1000 rpm. what is the no-load speed? what is the motor torque? what is the mechanical power delivered by the motor? what is the current draw? what is the electrical power input what is the energy efficiency of the motor? 3.
