You and you friend are sitting on the floor in an empty room a distance, d, apart, and you both have an equal mass. Assume the only force acting on you and your friend is the gravitational force you each exert on each other. No other forces are present. a. How long will it take due to gravitational forces before you and your friend meet directly in the middle? Note: You may assume the acceleration remains constant throughout the motion.
b. In reality, the acceleration is not constant and is continually changing. Why is this?
c. If the acceleration is changing, what effect will this have on the derived time? Will the time increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
