A coil is connected to an analogue centre zero ammeter. A magnet is dropped (North pole first) so that it falls vertically and completely through the coil. What would be observe on the ammeter?

The ammeter's needle would first be deflected one way, then as the direction of the current reversed, it would deflect the other way.

How do I solve a problem about a mass on a slide?


Explain why objects in free fall drop to the ground at the same speed, regardless of their mass.


Newton's Law of Gravitation states: F=GMm/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.67×10−11m^3kg^−1s^−2). Kepler's Third Law, states t^2=kR^3. The mass of the sun is 1.99x10^30kg. Find the value of k and its units


How do I approach this question? Our teacher never explained it in class!
