If the radius of the solenoid were doubled (becoming 2b), and all other quantities remained the same, the magnetic field inside the solenoid would
A) remain the same.
B) become twice as strong.
C) become one half as strong.

A baseball pitcher throws a fastball at 98 mph. He also has a slower "changeup" pitch, 75 mph, which he throws identically, same windup and same release angleĀ from shoulder height. Which pitch gets to home plate with a flatter trajectory-i.e., velocity vector closer to horizontal?

A. The fastball B. The changeup C. They each have same trajectory, since the distance to home plate is the same
