A bar magnet falls freely, with its north pole pointing straight down. It approaches and passes through a fixed, horizontally orientated, metal ring.

a) How, if in any way, is the magnet's motion affected as it approaches the ring?

b) How, if in any way, is the magnet's motion affected as it leaves the ring?

Explain briefly with appropriate diagrams showing induced currents and their magnetic effects.

Suppose you fire a projectile straight up from the Earth’s North Pole with a speed of 10.5km/s. Ignore air resistance. (a) How far from the center of the Earth does the projectile rise? How high above the surface of the Earth is that? (The radius of the Earth is RE = 6.37 × 106 m, and the mass of the Earth is M = 5.97 × 1024 kg.) (b) How different is the result you got in part (a) above...

PART 1: A train moves with constant velocity down a straight track that passes through a tunnel. When the train is at rest with respect to the tunnel, the train is exactly the same length as the tunnel. However, the train in this case is moving relative to the tunnel at nearly the speed of light. The engineer on the train says: “The tunnel is Lorentz-contracted and is shorter than the train; therefore at no time can the train be...

A one-meter-square coil of wire sits flat on a tabletop and bar magnet is dropped south-end-down toward it. As the magnet approaches, the field magnitude through the coil increases linearly from 4 mT to 16 mT is 0.25 s. This produces a 96 milliamp current circulating in the coil. Find the resistance of the coil, and state which way (as viewed from above) the induced current circulates. An electric generator is intended to output 10 kJ of energy during each...

A school bus drives in a straight line down a road. Its position x from a stop sign is given as a function of time by the following equation: x(t)=At^2-Bt^3, where A = 2.50 m/s^2 and B = 0.0855 m/s^3 . Use this information to calculate: a. the bus’s average velocity from t = 0 to t = 2.00 s b. the bus’s instantaneous velocity at t = 0 and t = 2.00 s c. the bus’s average acceleration from...
