A very dense 1500-kg point mass (

A) and a dense 1200-kg point mass (B) are held in place 1.00 m apart on a frictionless table. A third point mass is placed between the other two at a point that is 20.0 cm from B along the line connecting A and B. When the third mass is suddenly released, find the magnitude and direction (toward A or toward B) of its initial acceleration. (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ? m2/kg2 )

AC current (current flow in alternating directions) will be induced in coil 2. d. DC current will be induced in coil 2, but its direction will depend on the initial direction of flow of current in coil 1. e. Both AC and DC current will be induced in coil 2.
