Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

Neko [114]

Answer:

Suppose that when you move the north pole of a bar magnetic toward a coil it induces a positive current in the coil. The strengt
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

<em>a) A positive current will be induced in the coil</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the induction of an electric field on a conductor due to a changing magnetic field flux. The change in the flux can be by moving the magnet relative to the conductor, or by changing the intensity of the magnetic field of the magnet. In the case of this electromagnets<em>, the gradual increase in the the electromagnet's field strength will cause a flux change, which will in turn induce an electric current on the coil.</em>

According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to negate the motion or action that is producing it. <em>A positive current will be induced on the coil so as to repel any form of attraction between the north pole of the electromagnet and the coil</em>. This law obeys the law of conservation of energy, since work has to be done to move the move them closer to themselves.
