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.

A large bell is hung from a wooden beam so it can swing back and forth with negligible friction. The center of mass of the bell
andrezito [222]

Answer:

0.62499 m

Explanation:

L = Length of the clapper rod

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

I = Moment of inertia = 15 kgm²

m = Mass of bell = 30 kg

d = Distance to the bell = 0.8 m

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgd}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{15}{30\times 9.81\times 0.8}}\\\Rightarrow T=1.58593\ s

Time period of a simple pendulum is given by

T_s=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow L=g\dfrac{T_s^2}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=9.81\dfrac{1.58593^2}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=0.62499\ m

The time period of the pendulum and the simple pendulum is equal

The length of the clapper rod for the bell to ring silently is 0.62499 m

Explain how conduction, convention and radiation all transfer heat when cooking in a pan of water.​
yarga [219]

Answer:

hope this helps love! There are three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Cooking of food usually uses a combination of these methods. Conduction transfers the heat using direct contact; food is heated directly in a metal pan, in a liquid, or surrounded by air. ... The heat from the water is transferred to the egg.

Explanation:

When the water is heated, thermal expansion happens so the particles move farther apart and then the hot water moves up because it is less dense then the colder water. ... Convection is happening because when air is heated by the fire, the air becomes less dense and moves up because denser things sink.
