Two masses, each having a value of M, are vibrating vertically on a spring with a Hooke's law constant, k. At the lowest point of the vibration, one of the masses falls off, so that now the total mass is M instead of 2M. Comparing the new vibrational motion to the original vibrational motion: 1) How is the period of vibration different, if at all

The human body stores chemical energy from digested food. some of the chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy when the body moves. which statement best supported by this information

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?
