During a football game, a player throws the ball east 60 yards. 20 seconds after the ball left his hand a member of the opposing team caught the ball. At what velocity did the ball fly through the air?

At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). it travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6,9) and constant acceleration 2i−4j−2k. find an equation for the position vector of the particle.

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?

The coefficient of friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two in contact with one another.
