Question:
A horizontal wire is free to slide on the vertical rails of a conducting frame, as in figure. The wire has mass m and length ?, and the resistance of the circuit is R. If a uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the frame, what is the terminal speed of the wire as it falls under the force of gravity? (Neglect friction.)

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
