Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 A (or more!). We can model such a strike as a 49500 A vertical current perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, which is about 12 gauss.
a. What is the force on each meter of this current due to the earth's magnetic field?

Shelly experiences a backward jolt when the driver starts the school bus. which of the following explains this phenomenon? a. the inertia of shelly b. the inertia of the bus c. the normal force of the seats on shelly d. the net force acting on shelly in a backward direction e. a zero net force acting on shelly

Agas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device. the piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. a compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 190 n on the piston. if the atmospheric pressure is 95 kpa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

During spring semester at mit, residents of the parallel buildings of the east campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. a balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. assume that the stretching of the hose obeys hooke's law with a spring constant of 89.0 n/m. if the hose is stretched by 5.80 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length? unitst 3 number-1497 the tolerance is +/-5% open show work click if you would like to show work for this question:
