The magnetic field perpendicular to a circular wire loop 8.6cm in diameter is changed from +0.51 T to -0.25 T in 300ms , where + means the field points away from an observer and - toward the observer. Calculate the induced emf. In what direction does the induced current flow?

Ithink it is letter b, i may be wrong but i think that is the answer

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
