Doppler Effect: You are driving along a highway at 25.0 m/s when you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle traveling at constant speed in the opposite direction on the other side of the highway. When the vehicle is approaching you, you hear the frequency of the siren as 2380 Hz, but when it is past you the frequency becomes 1680 Hz. What is the frequency of the siren? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
A. 1850 Hz
B. 2000 Hz
C. 2050 Hz
D. 2010 Hz
E. 1980 Hz

First Law of Thermodynamics: A cyclic process is carried out on an ideal gas such that it returns to its initial state at the end of a cycle, as shown in the pV diagram in the figure. If the process is carried out in a clockwise sense around the enclosed area, as shown on the figure, then the change of internal energy over the full cycle
A. is positive. B. is negative. C. is zero. D. cannot be determined from the information given.
A 2.5-kg box, sliding on a rough horizontal surface, has a speed of 1.2 m/s when it makes contact with a spring (see the figure)
The block comes to a momentary halt when the compression of the spring is 5.0 cm. The work done by the friction, from the instant the block makes contact with the spring until is comes to a momentary halt, is -0.50 J. (a) What is the spring constant of the spring? (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the rough surface? What will be an ideal response?
