Density of the weight-compared with the density of water : A weight is attached to one end of a lightweight spring held at other end. When the weight comes to rest, the spring is stretched 20 cm beyond its natural length. In another condition the weight is completely immersed in water.

What is the emf induced between the blade tip and center hub : A helicopter has blades of length 2.5m, extending out from a central hub and rotating at 4.00 rev/s. If the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is 50.0μT, what is the emf induced between the blade tip and the center hub?

Lightening and charged with an enormous negative charge : A 1500 lb car traveling 80 mph due west is struck by lightening and charged with an enormous negative charge. If the Earth's magnetic field (.3 gauss) just exactly picks up the car while it is still moving, how much charge is there on the car?

Find the average induced emf in the coil : A long straight wire lying along the x-axis carries a constant 5 A current along the positive x direction. A small 5mm diameter loop lies in the x-y plane centered at y = 2m. If the loop is suddenly stretched so that its area shrinks to zero in 0...

Bread box on frictionless incline of angle : A 2.0 kg breadbox on a frictionless incline of angle ? = 33° is connected, by a cord that runs over a pulley, to a light spring of spring constant k = 120 N/m, as shown in the figure below. The box is released from rest when the spring is unstrect..

Capacitor that controls this pulsing rate discharges : In a heart pacemaker, a pulse is delivered to the heart 81 times per minute. The capacitor that controls this pulsing rate discharges through a resistance of 2.4 x 106. One pulse is delivered every time the fully charged capacitor loses 63.3% of its ..
