A coil is connected to a voltmeter. A bar magnet, initially held above the coil, is left to fall into the coil. Explain why the voltmeter shows a reading. How will the reading of the voltmeter be affected if the magnet is dropped from a greater height?

As the bar magnet enters and exits the coil, there is a change in magnetic flux linkage through the coil. According to Faraday's law, an EMF is induced across the coil that is proportional to the rate of ...

What is the length of a if a triangle has lengths of b=6.4cm and c=5.6cm with an angle A=107.9 degrees?

We are going to have to use the cosine rule for this type of question. The cosine rule is a2=b2+c2 - 2bcCosATherefore a2= (6.46.4) + (5.65.6) - (26.45.6)*Cos107.9 If we plug this into ou...

simply fully (2x^2 -3)^2 - (2x^2 + 2)^2

= (2x^2-3)(2x^2-3) -{(2x^2+2)(2x^2+2)}= 4x^4-6x^2-6x^2+9 -(4x^4+4x^2+4x^2+4)= 4x^4-12x^2+9-4x^4-8x^2-4= -20x^2+5= -5(4x^2-1) or 5(-4x^2+1)
