Problem 2 (10 points) Space Taxi The company Space-Taxi operates a space shuttle service. Today a shuttle is to transport passengers and cargo between two low-Earth-orbit space stations. The two space stations move on circular orbits with radii of 2,0 104 km and 4,0 104 km in the same plane around the Earth. The shuttle starts from the space station closer to Earth and accelerates tangentially to the orbit for a short time. As a result it reaches the orbit of the second space station along an elliptical path, as shown in the adjacent figure. Once it arrives there, it performs a second short acceleration maneuver tangential to the orbit, in order to match the speed of the space station. This needs to be well planned. a) Determine the velocity changes of the shuttle required at each of the two acceleration maneuvers. The transfer described can only work if the second space station is at the right position when the shuttle arrives. b) Calculate how long the shuttle’s journey takes. Determine the angle by which space station 2 must be ahead of space station 1 on its orbit at the moment the shuttle departs, so that the shuttle arrives exactly at station 2. The mass of the Earth is 6,0 1024 kg.

Problem 4 (10 points) Fast as sound Sound propagates in a medium with a finite speed, the speed of sound. With a smartphone or computer and a few additional materials you can determine the speed of sound in air experimentally quite accurately. How does this work? First find out how you can use the smartphone or a computer to generate a sine tone with adjustable frequency and also record the sound pressure amplitude or the loudness of an acoustic signal 1. Then obtain a reasonably stable tube at least 50 cm long, for example made of cardboard. Close one end of the tube with a piece of cardboard or something similar. Now hold the microphone to the open end of the tube, generate a sine tone and record the acoustic signal measured by the microphone. a) Investigate qualitatively how the sound pressure amplitude measured at the open end of the tube changes with frequency and describe your observations. b) Theoretically derive a relationship between the observed characteristics of the sound pressure amplitude curve and the speed of sound in air. c) Use this to determine experimentally the speed of sound in air at room temperature. Describe how you proceeded, and estimate the uncertainty of your result. Finally, compare the speed of sound you determined with a literature value.

Glass flask with raw milk. 1 For both purposes there are a number of free smartphone apps or programs for the computer. For tone generation a program is needed that allows a manual or automatic variation of the frequency over time, a so-called sweep. On the IPhO website we have compiled some suitable apps and offer an audio file with a sweep for download. If it should not be possible to perform tone generation and recording simultaneously on one device, use a second device in parallel. scienceolympiaden.de Show your talent! Pupils If you are a pupil, the IPhO and the PhysicsOlympiad in Germany offer you diverse opportunities to engage intensively with physical questions, to experience physics as an exciting scientific discipline, to test your own limits and not least to meet interesting people. For the competition rounds there are learning materials and training problems that help you deepen your knowledge and problem-solving skills. At the seminars you meet many other physics-enthusiastic young people. Taking part is therefore worthwhile in every case and regardless of whether you make it into the higher rounds. What matters is to take part. Successfully completing the first round is already a special achievement and a real distinction. So, take heart! Teachers As a teacher you can offer pupils who are particularly capable or interested in physics a challenge with the problems of the Physics Olympiad and encourage them toward a deeper engagement with physical topics. The PhysicsOlympiad can thus serve as an instrument of individual support. In particular the problems of the 1st round are suitable not only for the best in a class.

With diverse offerings the PhysicsOlympiad wants to address interested young people broadly and lastingly inspire them for the natural sciences. To this end there are support offerings such as the Orpheus seminars and the accompanying materials for the 1st round, with which we want to support you in introducing topics of the PhysicsOlympiad. So do encourage your pupils to take part; for only those who do not take part can lose. Schools Schools can sharpen their profile by encouraging participation in competitions and use these, in the sense of an enrichment, as a complement to the school’s offerings. Competitions thereby offer diverse, differentiated learning environments for participating pupils. In the area of STEM subjects the olympiads, at least in the later rounds, represent a competition aimed at especially motivated and high-achieving young people. Nevertheless, participation also in the entry rounds is not only worthwhile, but can also contribute to a lasting motivation for STEM topics. Offerings such as the Orpheus seminars allow the support of a large number of participants. In many federal states, by the way, participation can be recognized as a special learning achievement or subject/seminar paper of your pupils for the Abitur. Interested in more than physics? The IPhO is one of the six nationwide science pupil competitions organized by the IPN — the ScienceOlympiads. Besides the selection competitions for the international olympiads in Biology (IBO), Chemistry (IChO) and Physics (IPhO), these include the International JuniorScienceOlympiad (IJSO), the European ScienceOlympiad (EUSO) as well as the Federal Environment Competition (BUW). Together they address pupils from the beginning of secondary school to after the end of school years and, through close networking, offer the possibility of a lasting promotion of scientific abilities and interests. Further information can be found at www.scienceolympiaden.de. Many good reasons to take part in the PhysicsOlympiad Dear pupils, dear teachers, dear parents, Alexander von Humboldt was convinced that ideas and knowledge can only be of use “when they come alive in many minds”. As in Humboldt’s time, today too it is necessary to awaken and foster early in young people the fascination that emanates from science and research. We know that precisely the findings of the natural sciences will significantly shape our future and are the foundation of social progress. More than ever a scientific understanding is necessary in order to also correctly assess the consequences of scientific and technical progress and to find answers to the great questions of the future. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has for many years been engaged in numerous ways to inspire young people for the world of the natural sciences. We support, for example, various pupil and youth competitions on STEM topics — mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. The science competitions organized by the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education, the ScienceOlympiads and the Federal Environment Competition, are part of these. Every year around 10,000 pupils nationwide from the 5th grade register. For exciting and tricky problems offer the opportunity to challenge oneself beyond everyday school life, to discover one’s own talents and to develop further

Tuttavia, La partecipazione ai round di entrata non è solo utile, ma è anche importante. può anche contribuire a una duratura motivazione per i temi STEM. Offerte come i seminari di Orpheus consent the support of a Numero di partecipanti. In molti stati federali, comunque, Il documento di partecipazione può essere riconosciuto come un particolare risultato di apprendimento o come un documento di tema/seminario del vostro corso. Alcune delle quali sono state prese in considerazione. Interessato in più della fisica? L’IPhO è uno dei sei concorsi nazionali di scienza organizzati dall’IPN Scienza olimpiadi. Oltre alle competizioni di selezione per il I campioni di biologia (IBO), chimica (IChO) e fisica (IPhO), questi includono La Commissione europea ha adottato una proposta di regolamento (UE) n.

Ulteriori informazioni sono disponibili a: www.scienceolympiaden.de Molti buoni motivi per partecipare al PhysicsOlympiad Cari studenti, cari insegnanti, Cari genitori, Alexander von Humboldt era convinto che le idee e le conoscenze possono essere utilizzate solo quando vengono in vita in molti sensi”. Come in tempo di Humboldt, oggi anche è necessario svegliarsi e far crescere presto in giovani, il fascino che deriva dalla scienza e dalla ricerca. Sappiamo che proprio i risultati delle scienze naturali influiranno in modo significativo sul nostro futuro e sono la base del progresso sociale. Più che mai Un’intesa scientifica è necessaria per correctly assess the consequences of scientific and technical progress e per trovare risposte al grande
  • domande del futuro. Il Ministero federale dell’istruzione e della ricerca è stato impegnato per molti anni in numerosi modi per ispirare i giovani “People for the World of the Natural Sciences”. Supportamo, per esempio, varie competizioni di studenti e giovani su argomenti STEM: Scienze naturali e tecnologia. Le competizioni scientifiche organizzate dall’Istituto Leibniz per l’istruzione scientifica e matematica, Le Olimpiadi di Scienza e il concorso federale per l’ambiente sono parte di questi. Ogni anno, circa 10.000 studenti in tutto il paese, dal registro della quinta elementare. Per eccitante e I problemi difficili offrono l’opportunità di sfidare se stessi oltre la vita scolastica quotidiana, per scoprire i propri talenti e per sviluppare ulteriormente

Problem 4 (10 points) Almost as sound Sound propagates in a medium with a finite speed, the speed of sound. With a smartphone or computer and You can determine the speed of sound in air experimentally quite accurately. How does this work? First find out how you can use the smartphone or a computer to generate a sine tone with adjustable frequency and also record the sound pressure amplitude or the loudness of an acoustic signal 1. Then obtain a reasonably stable tube at least 50 cm long, for example made of cardboard. Close one end of the tube with a piece of cardboard or something similar. Now hold the microphone to the open end of the tube, generate a sine tone and record the acoustic signal measured by the microphone. (a) Qualitatively investigate how the sound pressure amplitude measured at the open end of the tube changes with frequency and describe your The Commission has already taken a number of measures. (b) Theoretically derive a relationship between the observed characteristics of the sound pressure amplitude curve and the speed of sound in the Air. c) Use this to experimentally determine the speed of sound in air at room temperature. Describe how you proceeded, and estimate the uncertainty of your result. Finally, compare the speed of sound you determined with a literature value. The first is the ‘Junior Problem’ (10 points). Raw milk in a glass bottle The glass bottle shown alongside contains raw milk. If the milk is left at rest for some time, the cream of the milk separates out, while the remaining skimmed milk stays at the bottom. You can assume that the total volume of the liquid remains constant in the process. State whether the pressure at the bottom of the flask decreases, increases or remains the same. Justify your answer.

Glass bottle with raw milk. 1 For both purposes there are a number of free smartphone apps or programs for the computer. For tone generation a program is needed that allows a manual or automatic variation of the frequency over time, a so-called sweep. On the IPhO website we have compiled some suitable apps and offer an audio file with a sweep for download. If it should not be possible to perform tone generation and recording simultaneously on one device, use a second device in parallel. The European Commission has also adopted a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment. Show your talent! The following is a list of the activities: If you are a student, The IPhO and the PhysicsOlympic in Germany offer you a variety of opportunities to engage intensively with Physical questions, to experience physics as an exciting scientific discipline, to test your own limits and Not least to meet interesting people. For the competition rounds there are learning materials and training problems that help you deepen your knowledge and problem-solving skills. At the seminars you meet many others Physics-enthusiastic young people. Taking Part is therefore worthwhile in every case and regardless of whether you make It’s into the higher rounds. What matters is to take part. Successfully completing the first Round is already a special achievement and a real distinction. So, take heart! Teachers As a teacher you can offer pupils who are particularly capable or interested in physics a challenge with the problems of the physics The Olympics and encourage them towards a deeper Engagement with physical topics. The PhysicsOlympiad can thus serve as an instrument of individual support. In particular, the problems of the 1st round are suitable not only for The best in a class.

With various offerings the PhysicsOlympiad wants to address interested young people broadly and lastingly inspire them for the natural sciences. To this end there are support offerings such as the Orpheus seminars and the accompanying materials for the 1st round, with which we want to support you in introducing The first is the topic of the PhysicsOlympic. So do encourage your pupils To take part; for only those who do not take part can lose. Schools Schools can sharpen their profile by encouraging participation in competitions and use these, in the sense The school’s contribution to the development of the school is a complement to the school’s offerings. Competitions thus offer a variety of The aim of the project is to create a differentiated learning environment for participating pupils. In the area of STEM subjects the Olympic Games, at least in the later rounds, represent a competition aimed at especially motivated and high achieving young people. Nevertheless, Participation in the entry rounds is not only worthwhile, but also can also contribute to a lasting The aim of this study is to provide a framework for the study of the impact of STEM on the environment. Offerings such as the Orpheus seminars allow the support of a large number of participants. In many federal states, by the way, Participation can be recognized as a special learning achievement or subject/seminar paper of your pupils for the Abitur. Interested in more than physics? The IPhO is one of the six national science pupil competitions organised by the IPN the The science olympics. In addition to the selection competitions for the international Olympic Games in Biology (IBO), Chemistry (IChO) and Physics (IPhO), these include The European Science Olympiad (EUSO) and the Federal Environment are also participating in the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO). Competition (BUW). Together they address pupils from the beginning of secondary school to after the end of school years and, through close networking, offer the possibility of a The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, adopt delegated acts in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Budgets. Further information can be found at The Commission has also adopted a proposal for a regulation on the implementation of the European Community’s programme for the prevention of pollution caused by pollution. Many good reasons to take part in the PhysicsOlympiad Dear pupils, dear teachers, Dear parents, Alexander von Humboldt was convinced that ideas and knowledge can only be of use “when they come alive”. in many minds”. As in Humboldt’s time, today too it is necessary to awaken and foster early in young people the fascination that emanates from science and research. We know that precisely the findings of the natural sciences will shape our future significantly and are the foundation of social progress. More than ever A scientific understanding is necessary in order to correctly assess the consequences of scientific and technical progress And to find answers to the great Questions of the future. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has for many years been engaged in numerous ways to inspire young people People for the World of Natural Sciences. We support, for example, various pupil and youth competitions on STEM topics mathematics, computer science, The Commission’s proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks of the environment. The science competitions organised by the Leibniz Institute for science and mathematics education, The ScienceOlympics and the Federal Environment Competition are part of these. Every year, about 10,000 students nationwide from the 5th grade register. For exciting and Tricky problems offer the opportunity to challenge oneself beyond everyday school life, to discover one’s own talents and to develop further
