Because Earth's rotation is gradually slowing, the length of each day increases: The day at the end of 1.0 century is 1.0 ms longer than the day at the start of the century. In 85 centuries, what is the total of the daily increases in time (that is, the sum of the gain on the first day, the gain on the second day, etc.)? Number Units

Building an Adjustable Electromagnet. You and your team are tasked with designing a source to provide a uniform magnetic field for an experiment. The field inside a solenoid is uniform, provided that the length of the solenoid is much longer than its diameter. One useful characteristic of an electromagnet of this type is that the field inside can be adjusted anywhere between 0 T and some maximum value by controlling the current. In addition, the direction of the field, which is always pointed along the axis, can be reversed by reversing the current. The solenoid you are designing must be 3.60 cm in diameter and 25.0 cm long, and must generate a maximum magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.150 T. You intend to wind a cylinder of the given dimensions with wire that can safely pass a maximum current of 6.50 A. (a) How many windings should the solenoid have in order that the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.150 T when the current is 6.50 A? (b) What total length of wire is required? (c) What current should you pass through the coil to generate a smaller magnetic field of magnitude 3.50×10−2 T at its center, but directed antiparallel to the field generated in part (a)? Assume the current was positive in part (a). (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units

You are at a weekly meeting of your Astronomy Club. The club members are excited because access is now available to real-time data on light intensity from the star at the center of another planetary system. The plane of the system is parallel to the direction from the system toward the Earth, so it is possible to detect transits: a planet passes between the Earth and the star of the system, so that the light from the star dims slightly. The planets of this system are very close to their parent star and revolve very rapidly. Planet X in this system has a period of 2.00 Earth days! As you graph the incoming data from the star as it appears on a computer, you see the dip in light intensity. You make a printout of the graph of light intensity versus time and compare it to the graph from 2.00 days ago. The latest graph shows a difference. The time interval from the beginning of the dimming of the light from the star to the return to full brightness took much longer than it did during the observation 2.00 days ago, and the light became significantly dimmer than the observation 2.00 days ago. As you continue to watch the data over several days, the light data every 2.00 days is similar to that in the first graph. Then, 10.0 days after you noticed the unusual behavior, you see it again! You realize that the unusual behavior must be due to a double occultation: two planets are lined up between you and the other star: Planet X and Planet Y! You inform your club members about the data and they excitedly ask you to find out the percentage by which the semimajor axis of the Planet Y is larger that of Planet X. %
