Answer:

C

Explanation:

Thin film interference is most constructive or most destructive when the path length difference for the two rays is an integral or half-integral wavelength, respectively. That is, for rays incident perpendicularly, 2t = λn, 2λn, 3λn, . . . or  2t = λn/2, 3λn/2, 5λn/2 , .....

We see a constant phase shift off λn/2. Hence option C

A manufacturer selected a metal to use in producing a lightweight button for clothing. A metal that has a density of 2.71 g/cm3
Natali5045456 [20]

Just find the density of every metal and select the one with a density of 2.71 g/cm³ . This is:

Metal 1

ρ = m/V

ρ = 22.1 g / 3 cm³

ρ = 7.367 g / cm³

Metal 2

ρ = m/V

ρ = 42 g / 4 cm³

ρ = 10.5 g / cm³

Metal 3

ρ = m/V

ρ = 9.32 g / 5 cm³

ρ = 1.864 g / cm³

Metal 4

ρ = m/V

ρ = 8.13 g / 3 cm³

ρ = 2.71 g / cm³

<h2>R / Metal 4 was selected.</h2>

HELP BRANLIEST
Vsevolod [243]

Explanation:

- Newton's first law of motion:

"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) remains at rest (or in uniform motion) unless acted upon an unbalanced force

In this situation, we can apply Newton's first law to the keys of the keyboard that are not hit by the fingers of the man. In fact, as no force act on the keys, they remain at rest.

- Newton's second law of motion:

"The acceleration experienced by an object is proportional to the net force exerted on the object; mathematically:

F=ma

where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a its acceleration"

In this case, we can apply Newton's second law to the keys of the keyboard that are hit by the man: in fact, as they are hit, they experience a downward force, and therefore they experience a downward acceleration.

"Newton's third law of motion:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

Here We can apply Newton's third law to the pair of objects finger-key: in fact, as the finger apply a force on the key (action force), then the key exerts a force back on the finger (reaction force), equal and opposite.

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 42 N

Part b)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

F = 159.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

mg - T = ma

for uniform cylinder we will have

TR = I\alpha

so we have

T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})

T = \frac{1}{2}Ma

now we have

mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a

a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}

a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}

a = 7 m/s^2

now we have

T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}

T = 42 N

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

v_f - v_i = at

11.8 - 0 = 7 t

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

F = T + Mg

F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)

F = 159.7 N
