1.) An electric motor can accelerate a Ferris wheel of moment of inertia I = 19500 kg·m2 from rest to 10.1 rev/min in 12.0 s. When the motor is turned off, friction causes the wheel to slow down from 10.1 to 8.1 rev/min in 10.0 s. (a) Determine the torque generated by the motor to bring the wheel to 10.1 rev/min. (b) Determine the power that would be needed to maintain this rotational speed. W

Briefly describe a measurement you can do using a compass to determine information on the direction and/or strength of the magnetic field passing through the wire in Oersted’s experiment. Include your prediction on how you expect the compass reading to vary as you change one parameter (e.g. distance or current through the wire).

Being critical of your measurement described in the previous question, what errors or complications could arise that would prevent you from obtaining conclusive results? Include a precaution or extra steps that could be undertaken to ensure conclusive results. (One optional choice here is how to deal with background signals produced by Earth’s magnetic field).
