A certain factory has waste products of large wood chips, large rocks, and sand. These materials are all mixed together. Large amounts of this mixture are produced every day. The materials need to be separated from each other so that they can be reused for other purposes. Four suggested methods for separating the mixture are shown below. Each method uses a tank full of water.

Method 1
Place the mixture in water.
Remove everything that floats on top of the water.
Allow the water to evaporate.
Method 2
Remove the rocks from the mixture by hand.
Place the remaining mixture in water.
Remove everything that floats on top of the water.
Method 3
Place the mixture in water.
Remove anything that is not dissolved in the water.
Allow the water to evaporate.
Method 4
Pass the mixture through a screen.
Place what does not pass through the screen in water.
Remove everything that floats on top of the water.

Which method would be most effective for separating the mixture?

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?
