You have a wire of length L = 1.7 m for making a square coil of a dc motor. The current in the coil is I = 0.8 A, and the magnetic field of the motor has a magnitude of B = 0.31 T. Find the maximum torque exerted on the coil when the wire is used to make (a) a single-turn square coil and (b) a two-turn square coil.

Electrons are initially traveling at 2.40×106 m/s in the horizontal direction. They enter a region between two charged plates of length 2.00 cm and experience an acceleration of 4.00×1014 m/s2 vertically upward. Find: (a) the vertical position as they leave the region between the plates; (b) the angle at which they emerge from between the plates

A nozzle with a radius of 0.16 cm is attached to a garden hose
with a radius of 0.88 cm that is pointed straight up. The flow rate
through hose and nozzle is 0.35 L/s.
Part (a) Calculate the maximum height to which
water could be squirted with the hose if it emerges from the nozzle
in m.
Part (b) Calculate the maximum height (in cm) to which water could be squirted with the hose if it emerges with the nozzle removed, assuming the same flow rate.

While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the car door.
What is happening?
What is happening?
| The door is exerting a rightward force on you. |
| Centrifugal force is pushing you into the door. |
| Both of the above. |

| Acceleration. |
| Acceleration, net force. |
| Velocity, acceleration, net force. |
| Velocity, net force. |
| Velocity, acceleration. |
The Moon does not crash into the Earth because:
| it is freely falling but it has a high tangential velocity. |
| the net force on it is zero. |
| it is beyond the main pull of the Earth's gravity. |
| it is being pulled by the Sun as well as by the Earth. |
In the International Space Station which orbits Earth, astronauts experience apparent weightlessness because
In the International Space Station which orbits Earth, astronauts experience apparent weightlessness because
| the station is kept in orbit by a centrifugal force that counteracts the Earth's gravity. |
| the station's high speed nullifies the effects of gravity. |
| there is no gravity in space. |
| the astronauts and the station are in free fall towards the center of the Earth. |
| the station is so far away from the center of the Earth. |

Life Cycle Diagram:
1) Consider the provision of hot water using an electric water heater fueled by electricity produced from natural gas in a centralized powerplant. Draw a process flow diagram for this energy service with at least four stages in the supply chain. List at least four social or environmental impacts that result from process and identify where in your diagram the impacts occur.
2) List and describe three weakness of life cycle assessment for evaluating future energy systems, and suggest ONE solution for one of the weakness.
3) List & explain two separate factors that can lead to an energy source having a low Levelized Cost of Energy [LCOE] despite the high capital cost.

A point charge q2 = -3.9 μC is fixed at the origin of a co-ordinate system as shown. Another point charge q1 = 4.5 μC is is initially located at point P, a distance d1 = 8.2 cm from the origin along the x-axis
Point R located at d2 = 3.3 cm
The charge q2 is now replaced by two charges q3 and q4 which each have a magnitude of -1.95 μC, half of that of q2. The charges are located a distance a = 2 cm from the origin
What is the potential energy of the system composed of the three charges q1, q3, and q4, when q1 is at point R? Define the potential energy to be zero at infinity.
