Answer:

To create an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor.

Explanation:

For current to flow, there must exist an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor. This PD is provided by the electromotive force stored within the battery. Unless there is a connection between the terminals no PD will exist between the terminals.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

A tennis racquet swung with an angular velocity of 12 rad/s strikes a motionless ball at a distance of 0.5 m from the axis of ro
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity of the  racquet, ω = 12 rad/s

distance of strike, r = 0.5 m

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact is given by;

V = ωr

V = (12)(0.5)

V = 6 m/s

Therefore, linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.

A pendulum is timed, first for 20 swings and then for
wlad13 [49]

w =  \frac{t(50) - t(20)}{50 - 20}  =  \frac{43.2 - 17.4}{50 - 20}

w =  \frac{25.8}{30}  = 0.86 \: sec \: per \: swing

The results may differ due to resistive forces that may be affecting the system by decelerating it or any other external forces that might accelerate it a bit.Or the timing could be a little inaccurate.

help me solve this: a bicyclist in the tour de france crests a mountain pass as he moves at 18 km/h. At the bottom, 4.0 km farth
Lana71 [14]
First we have to convert:
75 km / h ( * 3.6 ) = 270 m/s
18 m/s = 64.8 m/s
d = v i · t + 1/2 a · t²
v = v i + a t
-----------------------------------
4000 = 64.8 · t + 1/2 a · t²
270 = 64.8 + a t
a = ( 270 - 64.8 ) / t
a = 205.2 / t
4000 = 64.8 t + 1/2 · ( 205.2 / t ) · t²
4000 = 64.8 t + 102.6 t
4000 = 167.4 t
t = 4000 : 167.4 = 23.89 s
a = 205.2 : 23.89 = 8.58 m/s²
Answer: His average acceleration was 8.58 m/s²
