Arunner is jogging in a straight line at a
steady v,= 4.9 km/hr. when the runner is
l= 7.8 km from the finish line, a bird begins
flying straight from the runner to the finish
line at ub= 24.5 km/hr (5 times as fast as
the runner). when the bird reaches the finish
line, it turns around and flies directly back to
the runner.
finish
line
what cumulative distance does the bird
travel? even though the bird is a dodo, as-
sume that it occupies only one point in space
(a "zero" length bird), travels in a straight
line, and that it can turn without loss of
speed.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. if the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x 108 hz, what is the wavelength of this microwave?
