Which of the following has the greatest inertia? a. a toy car . b. a jet airliner . c. a full-size car . d. a pick-up truck .

Use the empirical rule. the mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 70 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 66 miles per hour and 74 miles per hour. (assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.)

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?

Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 a or higher. some people are concerned that the electromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. for a line that has current 150 a and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 g. is this value cause for worry?
