There is a pair of fixed, parallel rails of negligible resistance in a horizontal plane, at a distance of L = 10 cm. The rails are connected, at one of their ends to an ideal battery of EMF 0.5 V, as shown in the figure. The system is placed in a vertically downward and perpendicular magnetic field of magnetic induction B = 1T. A metal rod of resistance R=10Omega is placed perpendicularly on the rails. The rod placed perpendicularly on the rails. The rod and rails are frictionless. The magnitude of force, which is to be exerted on the rod in order to move it with a constant speed of order to move it with a constant speed of 1ms^(-1) in the direction shown, is

Two small balls A and B, each of mass m, are joined rigidly at the ends of a light rof of length L. they are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface another ball of mass 2 m moving with speed u towards one of the ball and perpendicular to the length of the rod on the horizontal frictionless surface as shown int he figure. if the coefficient of restitution is 1/2 then the angular speed of the rod after the collision will be

As shown in the figure above, a lifeguard sees a struggling swimmer who is 40 feet from the beach. The lifeguard runs 60 feets along the edge of the water at a speed of 12 feet per second. He pauses for 1 seconds to locate the swimmer again, and then dives into the water and swims along a diagonal path to the swimmer at a speed of 5 feet per second. How many seconds go by between the time the lifeguard sees the struggling swimmer and the times he reaches the swimmer?
