Bats can navigate using the earth’s field—a plus for an animal that may fly great distances from its roost at night. If, while sleeping during the day, bats are exposed to a field of a similar magnitude but different direction than the earth’s field, they are more likely to lose their way during their next lengthy night flight. Suppose you are a researcher doing such an experiment in a location where the earth’s field is 52 µT at a 60° angle below horizontal. You make a 50-cm-diameter, 100-turn coil around a roosting box; the sleeping bats are at the center of the coil.

a) Draw a diagram of the field and compute the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component points north.

b) If you add a horizontal field that is double the earth’s horizontal field but that points south, what is the new horizontal component?

c) Describe the magnitude and direction of the total field. How might you expect this to affect the bat’s navigation?

d) What current do you need in the coil to produce the noted field? What is the necessary orientation of the axis of the coil?

A precocious child wants to determine the moment of inertia, I_o, of the local merry-go-round. The child measures the radius of the merry-go-round (R = 2 m), then weighs herself (m = 25 kg), then notices that when she moves from the center of the merry-go-round to the rim, the rotational velocity of the merry-go-round changes from 0.3 rev/sec to 0.2 rev/sec. If the child treats herself as a point mass, what moment of inertia does she estimate for the merry-go-round?
