A conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field experiences a force given by the Lorentz equation. It might be written q v * B where the velocity and the magnetic fields are vectors and their product is a vector cross product. In terms of current the charge is carried through a distance L in time t, and the current is the charge per time so the force is I L * B where again the vector cross product comes in and the current is I. How must the wire be oriented in the magnetic field so that it does not experience a force at all? There is no direction in which the force is zero. The wire has to be parallel to the field with the current going opposite to the field. The wire has to be parallel to the field with the current going in either direction in the wire. The wire has to be perpendicular to the field
What is the wavelength, in fm (femtometers, or 10^-15 m), of a proton travelling at 90% of the speed of light?
A shift of onefringe in the Michelson-Morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of the interferometer by one period of vibration of light (about 2 ×10−15s) when the apparatus is rotated by 90◦. Based onthe results of such experiment,what velocity through the ether would be deduced from a shift of one fringe? (Take the length of the interferometer arm to be 11 m.)

A highway patrol officer uses a device that measures the speed of vehicles by bouncing radar off them and measuring the Doppler shift. The outgoing radar has a frequency of 100 GHz and the returning echo has a frequency 15.0 kHz higher. What is the velocity of the vehicle? Note that there are two Doppler shifts in echoes. Be certain not to round off until the end of the problem, because the effect is small.

(b) At the same lime as the doorbell is lung, a slice of bread pops out of a toaster that is located 10 1T1 from the door in the east direction from the door. (c) Tell seconds later, an airplane arrives at the airport, which is 10 km from the door in the east direction and 2 km to the south.
Slick Willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for speeding. The speed limit was v0 = 50 mph, and the police officer clocked Slick going vS W = 66 mph. However, he was caught by a police officer driving towards him, so he is arguing that although the police officer measured him to be speeding, in reality he was not. Slick Willy is assuming that the Doppler shift in electromagnetic radiation is described in the same way as the Doppler shift for sound. But note that the speed of electromagnetic radiation in air is about c = 3.0 × 108 m/s, considerably faster than the speed of sound in air.
