- Passage Problems A spiral is an ice-skating position in which the skater glides on one foot with the other foot held above hip level. It's a required element in women's singles figure-skating competition and is related to the arabesque performed in ballet. Figure 5.40 shows Canadian skater Kaetlyn Osmond executing a spiral during her medal-winning perfor- mance at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, South Korea. 77. From the photo, you can conclude that the skater is a. executing a turn to her left. b. executing a turn to her right. c. moving in a straight line out of the page. 78. The net force on the skater a. points to her left. b. points to her right. c. is zero. 79. If the skater were to execute the same maneuver but at higher speed, the tilt evident in the photo would be a. less. b. greater. c. unchanged. FIGURE 5.40 Passage Problems 77-80 80.

Your laptop weighs just 5 pounds, and for a long time that's what the program reports. But then the "Fasten Seatbelt" light comes on as the plane encounters turbu- lence. Figure 4.27 shows the readings for the laptop's apparent weight over a 12-second interval that includes the start of the turbulence. 76. At the first sign of turbulence, the plane's acceleration a. is upward. b. is downward. c. is impossible to tell from the graph. 77.

- Part A You want to get an idea of the magnitude of magnetic fields produced by overhead power lines. You estimate that a transmission wire is about 12 m above the ground. The local power company tells you that the line operates at 12 kV and provide a maximum of 60 MW to the local area. Estimate the maximum magnetic field you might experience walking under such a power line, and compare to the Earth's field.
