Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.28). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is case of interference in thin films

for constructive interference in thin film the condition is

2μ t = (2n+1)λ/2 ; μ is refractive index of oil , t is thickness of oil , λ is wave length of light .

2 x 1.28 x t = λ/2 , if n = 0

2 x 1.28 x t = 605 /2

t = 118.16 nm .

the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film required = 118.16 nm.

What causes a wave to begin

kakasveta [241]

Wind or gravitational pull. A wave is made by friction between wind and the water’s surface. Waves can also be made by the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

Suppose a straight 1.00-mm-diameter copper wire could just "float" horizontally in air because of the force due to the Earth’s m

insens350 [35]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force since Newton's second law, as well as the concept of Electromagnetic Force. The relationship of the two equations will allow us to find the magnetic field through the geometric relations of density and volume.

$F_{mag}= BIL$

Where,

B = Magnetic Field

I = Current

L = Length

<em>Note: $F_{mag}$ is a direct adaptation of the vector relation $F=q \times V \times B$ </em>

From Newton's second law we know that the relation of Strength and weight is determined as

$F_g = mg$

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

For there to be balance the two forces must be equal therefore

$F_{mag} = F_g$

$BIL = mg$

Our values are given as,

Diameter $(d) = 1.0mm = 1*10^{-3}m$

Radius $(r) = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5*10^{-3}m$

Magnetic Field $(B) = 5.0*10^{-5} T$

From the relationship of density another way of expressing mass would be

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = \rho V$

At the same time the volume ratio for a cylinder (the shape of the wire) would be

$V = \pi r^2 L \rightarrow L =Length, r= Radius$

Replacing this two expression at our first equation we have that:

$BIL = mg$

$BIL = ( \rho V)g$

$BIL = ( \rho \pi r^2 L)g$

Re-arrange to find I

$I = \frac{( \rho \pi r^2 L)g}{BL}$

$I = \frac{( \rho \pi r^2 )g}{B}$

We have for definition that the Density of copper is $8.9*10^3 Kg/m^3$ , gravity acceleration is $9.8m/s^2$ and the values of magnetic field (B) and the radius were previously given, then:

$I = \frac{( (8.9*10^3 ) \pi (0.5*10^{-3})^2 )(9.8)}{5.0*10^{-5}}$

$I = 1370.05A$

The current is too high to be transported which would make the case not feasible.
