It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam

ily is up north at your Traverse City cottage (240 miles from your home) and you plan on waking up early Saturday morning to drive home and set up for the party. You wake up at 10:00 am to head out but to your surprise your parents decide on leaving at 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm like they originally planned. Your father ALWAYS drives 60 miles per hour on the expressway and it will take you about 2 hours to set up for the party. How fast must you drive in order to get home in enough time to make the surprise a success? Show your work.

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

In what direction does the induced current flow in the loop?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Clockwise and counter clockwises, depands.

Explanation:

The direction of current in a loop of wire in a magnatic field depands on the direction in which the loop is moved and the applied magnatic field.

this is determined by what is called right hand rule.

I will give one scenario, let's say that the loop is moved upwards and the applied magnatic field is into the page (if you drew the loop in 2D on a piece of paper), in this case the direction would be clockwise.
