By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m
So the area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2

And by using the resistivity  of the Aluminum, \rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
to find L, the length of the wire:
L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

t = 0.192 \mu m

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t

here we know that

\mu = 1.79

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

now we have

\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}

now the shift is given as

Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

given that the shift is

Shift = 0.37 \delta x

here we have

0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}

now plug in all values in it

0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}

t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m

t = 0.192 \mu m

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper
zepelin [54]
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.
