(11%) Problem 2: A student standing in a canyon yells "echo", and her voice produces a sound wave of frequency of f= 0.51 kHz. The echo takes t = 3.9 s to return to the student. Assume the speed of sound through the atmosphere at this location is v = 334 m/s. Randomized Variables = 0.51 kHz == 3.9 s v = 334 m/s

2) You are hiking along a trail in a wide, dry canyon where the outdoor temperature is T = 32° C. To determine how far you are away from the canyon wall you yell “Hello” and hear the echo t = 3.5 s later. Randomized Variables T = 32° C t = 3.5 s a) Calculate the speed of sound in the valley in meters per second, assuming the speed at 0° C is 330 m/s. b) How far are you from the canyon wall, in meters? c) If you stood at the same point on a cold morning where the temperature was T2 = -3.5 degrees C, how long would it have taken for you to hear the echo, in seconds?
Answer: Uncertainty of Speed = 0.3301 m/s A traffic patrol officer uses a UAV with a camera to measure the transit time of vehicles between two-mile markers to measure the speed of vehicles on a major highway. A certain vehicle passes through the two-mile markers with an average speed of 77 miles per hour, and the distance between the markers is 5280 ft ± (50 ft). If the officer uses a stopwatch to measure the transit time, and his reaction time uncertainty to any single event is 0.05 sec, what is the uncertainty in the aircraft-based speed measurement? calculation work shown either by hand or mathcad

a Cepheid variable star is a star whose brightness alternately increases and decreases. For a certain star, the interval between times of maximum brightness is 6.5 days. The average brightness of this star is 3.0 and its brightness changes by ±0.35. In view of these data, the brightness of the star at time t, where t is measured in days, has been modeled by the function B(t) = 3.0 + 0.35 sin (2?t)/(6.5) A) find the rate of change of the brightness after t days. dB/dt= B) find, correct to two decimal places, the rate of increase after one day. dB/dt

A man is driving his 4.5 m long automobile at 90 kph when the traffic signal in front of him changes to yellow. He is 55 m. from the intersection when he applies the brakes after 1.5 second reaction time. If the car can decelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s2, at what velocity will he be moving when he reaches the intersection? If the yellow light is 5 seconds long, where will the man be when the light turns red? Assuming he will continue through at the speed found in part when the light changes to red. How long will the light have red when he clears the intersection having a width of 20m? Answer the problem and show complete solution please
