An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +10 m/s and measures a time of 16.3 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (Indicate direction by the sign of the acceleration.)

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

You need to fill a basketball with air to play with it. you know that your pump expels air at a velocity of 6 cm/s. you know that the volume flow rate of air being pumped into the basketball is 103 cm^3/s. what is the diameter of your needle?

Irrigation channels that require regular flow monitoring are often equipped with electromagnetic flowmeters in which the magnetic field is produced by horizontal coils embedded in the bottom of the channel. a particular coil has 100 turns and a diameter of 6.0 m. when it's time for a measurement, a 4.5 a current is turned on. the large diameter of the coil means that the field in the water flowing directly above the center of the coil is approximately equal to the field in the center of the coil. the field is directed downward and the water is flowing east. the water is flowing above the center of the coil at 1.5 m/s . what is the magnitude of the field at the center of the coil? what is the direction of the force on a positive ion in the water above the center of the coil? what is the magnitude of the force on an ion with a charge +e?
