A coil is wrapped with 226 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (of radius 70 cm). Each turn has the same area, equal to that of the frame. A uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil. This field changes at a constant rate from 22 mT to 61 mT in 79 ms. What is the magnitude of the induced average E in the coil, over the time interval 79 ms during which the field changes? Answer in units of V.

Two identical metal spheres attract each other with a force of 7.00 × 10−6 N when they are 3.00 cm apart. The spheres are then touched together and then removed to the original separation where now a force of repulsion of 2.00 × 10−6 N is observed. What is the charge on each sphere after touching and before touching?

A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 16 m high, located 122 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 33° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)

What is the initial speed of the ball?

How long does it take the ball to reach the wall?

What is the velocity of the ball (x and y-component)?

What is the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall?

A stopper on a string is swung horizontally over a student’s head. The other end of the string is connected to a 0.200 kg mass that remains stationary. If the stopper completes 20 revolutions in 5.5 seconds with a radius of 0.75 m, then what is the mass of the stopper? Hint: In order to be in equilibrium, the vertical weight of the mass in N, needs to equal the centripetal force of the stopper. To find the velocity of the stopper, you will need to multiply the circumference it would travel by how many revolutions it has made, and divide that by the time

Two small loudspeakers emit sound waves of different frequencies equally in all directions. Speaker A has an output of 1.30 mW, and speaker B has an output of 1.90 mW. Two speakers A and B are represented as points which serve as the centers of concentric circles representing sound waves emanating from the speakers. The concentric circles about speaker A are spaced more closely together than the concentric circles about speaker B. The points lie along a horizontal line, and speaker A is 5.00 m to the left of speaker B. A vertical line is drawn that intersects the horizontal line at a distance of 3.00 m from the left speaker and 2.00 m from the right speaker. Point C lies along this vertical line at a distance of 4.00 m above the point of intersection. (a) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if only speaker A emits sound. (Enter your answer to at least one decimal place.) dB (b) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if only speaker B emits sound. (Enter your answer to at least one decimal place.) dB (c) Determine the sound level (in decibels) at point C in the figure if both speakers emit sound. (Enter your answer to at least the nearest dB.) dB/Users/crystaldawnmcclendon/Desktop/14-p-064.gif

A person with mass m1 = 68 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m2 = 109 kg and a length L = 2.5 m. Another person with mass m3 = 50 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m4 = 8 kg (assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well). Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor.

1. What is the location of the center of mass of the system?

2. The medicine ball is throw to the left end of the beam (and caught). What is the location of the center of mass now?

3. What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam? (How far did the beam move when the ball was throw from person to person?)

4. To return the medicine ball to the other person, both people walk to the center of the beam. At what x-position do they end up?
