Answer Key
Testname: PHYS2325 FINAL EXAM CH10-16

1) Yes, as long as the component of the force perpendicular to the line joining the axis to the force is the same for both
forces.
2) The total angular momentum of a rotating object remains constant if the net external torque acting on it is zero.
3) (1) The net force acting on the object must be zero.
(2) The net torque acting on the object must be zero.
4) The buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.
5) If all the soldiers march in step, a single frequency disturbance is applied to the bridge. If that frequency coincides with
a natural frequency of oscillation of the bridge, a large amplitude response is possible. By breaking step, the driving
force will have many random frequencies of smaller amplitude.
6) In a transverse wave, the vibration of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the motion of the wave itself. In a
longitudinal wave, the vibration of the particles of the medium is along the direction of the wave's motion.
7) The reflection of sound is used to determine distance. A transmitter sends out a sound pulse through the water, and a
detector receives its reflection, or echo, a short time later. This time interval is carefully measured, and from it the
distance to the reflecting object can be determined since the speed of sound in water is known.
