Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of $5.00\ \Omega$ by placing a $1.00-\mathrm{k}\ \Omega$ voltmeter across its terminals. (a) What current flows? (b) Find the terminal voltage. (c) To see how close the measured terminal voltage is to the emf, calculate their ratio.

What would be the maximum cost of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60-W bulbs? Assume the cost of the incandescent bulb is 25 cents and that electricity costs 10 cents/kWh. Calculate the cost for 1000 hours, as in the cost effectiveness of CFL example.

(a) The velocity of sound in a gas is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature T. Use this fact, and the result of the previous problem, to show that when a thermal gradient exists in the vertical direction (z) sound waves will be turned initially with a radius of curvature $R=\frac{2 T}{d T / d z}$ (b) On a still day, the temperature of the atmosphere is found to decrease more or less linearly with height. Sketch the paths of "rays" of sound emitted from a source suspended high in the atmosphere. Assuming that the velocity of sound at ground level is 1110 ft/sec, estimate the horizontal distance at which an airplane flying at 15,000 ft firs becomes audible to an observer on the ground, if the temperature decreases by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ per 500-ft increase in altitude.

Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible compared to the gravitational attraction between the ships. Construct a problem in which you place identical excess charges on the space ships to exactly counter their gravitational attraction. Calculate the amount of excess charge needed. Examine whether that charge depends on the distance between the centers of the ships, the masses of the ships, or any other factors. Discuss whether this would be an easy, difficult, or even impossible thing to do in practice.

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by $F(d)=-m k / d^{2}$, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant. Determine the value and units of k given that the mass of the rocket on Earth is 3 million kg.

Water expands significantly when it freezes: a volume increase of about 9% occurs. As a result of this expansion and because of the formation and growth of crystals as water freezes, anywhere from 10% to 30% of biological cells are burst when animal or plant material is frozen. Discuss the implications of this cell damage for the prospect of preserving human bodies by freezing so that they can be thawed at some future date when it is hoped that all diseases are curable.

The middle-C hammer of a piano hits two strings, producing beats of 1.50 Hz. One of the strings is tuned to 260.00 Hz. What frequencies could the other string have?
