A flat circular coil with 135 turns, a radius of 2.28 x 10-2 m, and a resistance of 0.618 is
exposed to an external magnetic field that is directed perpendicular to the plane of the
coil. The magnitude of the external magnetic field is changing at a rate of AB/At = 0.615
T/s, thereby inducing a current in the coil. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at the
center of the coil that is produced by the induced current.

- Required information A bungee jumper leaps from a bridge and undergoes a series of oscillations. Assume g = 9.78 m/s². If a 60.0-kg jumper uses a bungee cord that has an unstretched length of 30.1 m and she jumps from a height of 45.2 m above a river, coming to rest just a few centimeters above the water surface on the first downward descent, what is the period of the oscillations? Assume the bungee cord follows Hooke's law.arrow_forwardRequired information The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 6.50 × 104 N for a human and 12.3 × 104 N for a horse.

The bimetallic Pt-Ni nanoparticles are expected to decorate on the side surfaces of the aligned TiO2 nanorod arrays. These aligned TiO2 nanoarrays grew on the flat SiO2 monolith. Let's assume that the sizes of the Pt-Ni nanoparticles are > 10 nm. We further assume that you have access to a modern SEM that can produce a probe size as small as 1 nm with a current as high as 1 nA. You are not expected to damage/destroy the sample.
