The figure shows a swimmer at distance D = 32.0 m from a lightning strike to the water, with current I = 78.0 kA. The water has resistivity 30 Ω⋅m, the width of the swimmer along a radial line from the strike is 0.900 m, and his resistance across that width is 8.00 kΩ. Assume that the current spreads through the water over a hemisphere centered on the strike point. What is the current through the swimmer? Number Units

The figure shows a rod of length L = 11.7 cm that is forced to move at constant speed v = 5.31 m/s along horizontal rails. The rod, rails, and connecting strip at the right form a conducting loop. The rod has resistance 0.340 Ω; the rest of the loop has negligible resistance. A current i = 135 A through the long straight wire at distance a = 12.5 mm from the loop sets up a (nonuniform) magnetic field throughout loop. Find the (a) magnitude of the emf and (b) current induced in the loop. (c) At what rate is thermal energy generated in the rod? (d) What is the magnitude of the force that must be applied to the rod to make it move at constant speed? (e) At what rate does this force do work on the rod?

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent's left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. The figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance d = 25 cm from point O. His mass is 84 kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 kg⋅m2. What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied at height h = 1.4 m? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a plot of potential energy U versus position x of a 0.230 kg particle that can travel only along an x axis under the influence of a conservative force. The graph has these values: UA = 9.00 J, UC = 20.0 J and UD = 24.0 J. The particle is released at the point where U forms a "potential hill" of "height" UB = 12.0 J, with kinetic energy 6.00 J. What is the speed of the particle at (a)x = 3.50 m and (b)x = 6.50 m? What is the position of the turning point on (c) the right side and (d) the left side?
