The rotor in a certain electric motor is a flat, rectangular coil with 89 turns of wire and dimensions 2.57 cm by 4.20 cm. The rotor rotates in a uniform magnetic field of 0.800 T. When the plane of the rotor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the rotor carries a current of 10.6 mA. In this orientation, the magnetic moment of the rotor is directed opposite the magnetic field. The rotor then turns through one-half revolution. This process is repeated to cause the rotor to turn steadily at an angular speed of 3.72 103 rev/min.

(a) Find the maximum torque acting on the rotor.

A WCU student, who is snowboarding at Cataloochee, slides horizontally off the ledge of snowbank that is 1.25 meters above the ground.   When she leaves the ledge, she is initially moving horizontally at 7.50 m/s. Ignore air friction, as usual.

  1. Make a table showing values of x, y, vx, vy, and vtotal from the beginning (t = 0) to end (you’ll have to figure out tfinal) of her path for every 0.0200 seconds. (Note that she will hit the ground, y = 0, at the end.)
  1. Plot a graph of the snowboarder’s position during this whole time. (That is, plot her y vs. x position on one single graph.)

A 7.0-kg rock at a temperature of 30°C is dropped into a shallow lake at 30°C from a height of 1.0×10^5 m. What is the resulting change in entropy of the universe? (b) If the temperature of the rock is 100°C when it is dropped, what is the change of entropy of the universe? Assume that air friction is negligible (not a good assumption) and that c=860J/kg·K is the specific heat of the rock.
