Chapter 2, Problem 12P
(II) Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each has a speed of 95 km/h with respect to the ground. If they are initially 8.5 km apart, how long will it be before they reach each other? (See Fig. 2–38).

In the figure, a metal rod is forced to move with constant velocity along two parallel metal rails, connected with a strip of metal at one
end. A magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.450 T points out of the page. (a) If the rails are separated by 29.9 cm and the speed of the rod
is 69.3 cm/s, what is the magnitude of the emf generated in volts? (b) If the rod has a resistance of 25.302 and the rails and connector
have negligible resistance, what is the current in amperes in the rod? (c) At what rate is energy being transferred to thermal energy?
B
A rectangular coil of N turns and of length a and width b is rotated at frequency f in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, as
indicated in the figure. The coil is connected to co-rotating cylinders, against which metal brushes slide to make contact. The emf
induced in the coil is given (as a function of time t) by
ε = 2лfNabB sin (2лft) = ε sin (2πft).
This is the principle of the commercial alternating-current generator. What value of Nab gives an emf with &0 = 161 V when the loop is
rotated at 62.3 rev/s in a uniform magnetic field of 0.683 T?

The figure below shows two circular regions R1 and R2 with radii r₁ = 22.9 cm and r2 = 31.4 cm. In R₁ there is a uniform magnetic field of
magnitude B₁ = 50.6 mT directed into the page, and in R₂ there is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B₂ = 75.6 mT directed out of
the page (ignore fringing). Both fields are decreasing at the rate of 9.80 m/s. Calculate É ds for (a) path 1, (b) path 2, and (c)
