A 0.230-kg metal rod carrying a current of 13.0 A glides on two horizontal rails 0.530 m apart and 2.0 m long. Required:
a. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rod and rails is 0.150, what vertical magnetic field is required to keep the rod moving at a constant speed?
b. If the friction between the rod and rail is reduced zero, the rod will accelerate. If the rod starts from rest at the one end of the rails, what is the speed of the rod at the other end of the rails for this frictionless situation? Use the same field value you calculated in part (a).

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.
