A 60 kg skydiver is falling at a terminal velocity of 50 m/s.

calculate the amount of gravitational force acting on the skydiver.

Acoil formed by wrapping 80 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 28.0° with the direction of the field. when the magnetic field is increased uniformly from 200 µt to 600 µt in 0.400 as, an emf of magnitude 80.0 mv is induced in the coil. what is the total length of the wire?

Which is not a characteristic of a heat pump? a. it is used in air conditioners. b. it uses a refrigerant. c. it requires no work. d. it reverses the normal flow of thermal energy.

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
