The coils of a solenoid are stretched so that the length of the solenoid is twice its original length. Assuming the same current is passed though the solenoid before and after it is stretched, how does the magnetic field inside the solenoid change, if at all, as a result of the stretching?

a) The magnetic field after the stretching is one-fourth the value it was before stretching.
b) The magnetic field after the stretching is one-half the value it was before stretching.
c) The magnetic field after the stretching is the same as the value it was before stretching.
d) The magnetic field after the stretching is twice the value it was before stretching
e) The magnetic field after the stretching is four times the value it was before stretching.


Ans: b) The magnetic field after the stretching is one-half the value it was before stretching.

A popular demonstration involves a professor, initially motionless, standing on a low-friction turntable and holding a bicycle wheel that is spinning horizontally. What happens when the professor flips the bicycle wheel so that it is spinning in the other direction?

1.She starts to spin in the same direction as the initial direction of the bicycle wheel. 2.She starts to spin in the bicycle wheel's new spin direction. 3.She remains stationary. 4.It is impossible to tell because it depends on how fast the bicycle wheel initially spins.

Projectile Motion: As shown in the figure, a projectile is fired at time t = 0.00 s, from point 0 at the upper edge of a cliff, with initial velocity components of v0x = 30 m/s and v0y = 300 m/s. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea at point P. The time of flight of the projectile is 75.0 s, and air resistance is negligible. At this location, g = 9.80 m/s2. What is the horizontal distance D? 

A. 2250 m B. 2520 m C. 2790 m D. 3060 m E. 3330 m
