A motorcyclist is traveling at 58.3 mph on a flat stretch of highway during a sudden rainstorm. The rain has reduced the coefficient of static friction between the motorcycle tires and the road to 0.070 when the motorcyclist slams on the brakes.

(a) What is the minimum distance required to bring the motorcycle to a complete stop?
(b) What would be the stopping distance if it were not raining and the coefficient of static friction were 0.580?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

Ajet plane has a sound level of 120 db at a distance of 60 m. what is the q23. sound level at a distance of 6.0 km? (60)2 (6000)? om solution 80db db, hint: 16x assume ultrasound waves travel through the body of an animal at 1540 q24. m/s. if a 30,000 hz signal were reflected off a portion of a heart which was moving toward the source at 3 m/s, what frequency signal would return to the stationary source? solution 30.117hz
