Suppose you are driving a car and your friend, who is with you in the car, tosses a softball up and down from her point of view. a second friend of yours stands on the street and sees you passing by and says, "you are testing projectile motion with the softball! ". your friend on the street claims that each of you measures a different value for the vertical component of the initial velocity of the softball. do you agree with the statement?

In a system, when potential energy decreases, then entropy also decreases. true false

Which articulations allow for greatest range of motion?

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?
