    Problems (6 Problems, total 100%)


    1. Spring system: (15%) Two springs with
    identical force constant k are connected as
    shown in the figure to the right. Prove that the
    frequency of the oscillation on the frictionless
    surface is,

    1 2k
    f 
    2 m
    2. Conservation of energy: (20%) The gravitational force between two particles
    with masses m and M, initially at great separation, pulls them together. What is
    the speed of either particle relative to the other, when d is the separation at that
    instant? (10%)
    3. Gravitation: (15%) The magnitude of the gravitational force between a particle
    m1 m2
    of mass m1 and one of mass m2 is given by F ( x )  G , where G is a
    x2
    constant, and x is the distance between two particles.
    (a) What is the corresponding potential energy function U (x)? (5%)
    (b) How much work is required to increase the separation of the particles from
    x=x1 to x=x1+d? (5%)
    4. Doppler effect: (15%) If a sound wave has a speed v and frequency f. What is the
    detected frequency when the source is moving at speed vs towards the detector and
    the detector is stationary? (10%) Derive this.
    5. Wave equation: (20%) Suppose you set up a traveling wave in a string. Refer to the
    figure to the right, if you focused on this section of the
    string, you can find the mass of the string is oscillating
    vertically (y-direction) that is it is perpendicular to the
    wave’s travelling direction (say, to the right or in the
    +x direction). Let the same section, suppose the
    vibration of the string can be represented as a function
    y(x, t); a function of both x and t; and let the line
    density of the string be , and T is the tension of the
    string. Prove that the wave equation describing this wave motion is
      2 y ( x , t )  2 y ( x, t )
     .
    T t 2 x 2
    6. Escape Speed of a Rock: (15%) Superman picks up a 20 Kg rock and throws it into
    the space. What minimum speed must it have at the Earth’s surface to move infinitely
    far away from the Earth?
