Briefly explain how a fiber made of oriented ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene can be much stronger than structural steel in tension, but perpendicular to the fiber axis, its hardness is much less than that of steel.
What will be an ideal response?
Faraday's Law: A flat coil having 40 turns, each one of cross-sectional area 12.0 cm2, is oriented with its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. The field varies steadily from 0.00 T to 1.20 T in 20.0 ms. What emf is induced in the coil during this time?

A. At time tB
B. At time tG

What prevents a brown dwarf from undergoing nuclear fusion?
A) Degeneracy pressure halts the contraction of a protostar so the core never becomes hot or dense enough for nuclear fusion. B) There is not enough mass to maintain nuclear reactions in a self-sustaining way. C) The surface temperature never rises high enough for the radiation to be trapped and heat their interior to the temperatures required for nuclear fusion. D) Radiation pressure halts the contraction of a protostar so the core never becomes hot or dense enough for nuclear fusion. E) There are too many heavy elements and not enough hydrogen for fusion to occur in a self-sustaining way.
