Answer:

Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.

Explanation:

In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.

So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.

This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.

So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle

How was Bohr's atomic model different from those of previous scientists?
exis [7]

Answer:Bohr placed the electrons in distinct energy levels.  Rutherford described the atom as consisting of a tiny positive mass surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in quantised orbits.

Explanation: also rutherfords was just a hypothesis while Bhor took the time to make his an experiment

A person is nearsighted with a far point of 75.0 cm. a. What focal length contact lens is needed to give him normal vision
BigorU [14]

Complete Question

The  complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

  f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

b

  P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  image distance is  d_i =  -75 cm

The value of the image is negative because it is on the same side with the corrective glasses

    The  object distance is  d_o =  \infty

The  reason object distance  is because the object father than it being picture by the eye

General focal length is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{d_i}  -   \frac{1}{d_o}

substituting values

             \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{-75}  -   \frac{1}{\infty}

=>         f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

Generally the power of the corrective lens is  mathematically represented as

        P  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{1}{-0.75}

        P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

A box of mass 12 kg is at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is 0.42. What is th
Oxana [17]
The maximum static force that can be applied is equal to the normal force*the frictional force. the normal force on the box is equal to mg since the floor is flat using 9.81m/s^2 for gravity 12kg*9.81m/s^2 = 118N multiplying the normal force by the frictional force you get a 118*.42= 49.6N so overcome the force of static friction on the box a minimum of 49.6N would need to be applied.

Physics Kinematics question
just olya [345]
An interesting problem, and thanks to the precise heading you put for the question.

We will assume zero air resistance.
We further assume that the angle with vertical is t=53.13 degrees, corresponding to sin(t)=0.8, and therefore cos(t)=0.6.

Given:
angle with vertical, t = 53.13 degrees
sin(t)=0.8; cos(t)=0.6;
air-borne time, T = 20 seconds
initial height, y0 = 800 m

Assume g = -9.81 m/s^2

initial velocity, v m/s (to be determined)

Solution:

(i) Determine initial velocity, v.
initial vertical velocity, vy = vsin(t)=0.8v
Using kinematics equation, 
S(T)=800+(vy)T+(1/2)aT^2 ....(1)  
Where S is height measured from ground.

substitute values in (1):  S(20)=800+(0.8v)T+(-9.81)T^2  =>
v=((1/2)9.81(20^2)-800)/(0.8(20))=72.625 m/s  for T=20 s

(ii) maximum height attained by the bomb
Differentiate (1) with respect to T, and equate to zero to find maximum
dS/dt=(vy)+aT=0 =>
Tmax=-(vy)/a = -0.8*72.625/(-9.81)= 5.9225 s

Maximum height,
Smax
=S(5.9225)
=800+(0.8*122.625)*(5.9225)+(1/2)(-9.81)(5.9225^2)
= 972.0494 m

(iii) Horizontal distance travelled by the bomb while air-borne
Horizontal velocity = vx = vcos(t) = 0.6v = 43.575 m/s
Horizontal distace travelled, Sx = (vx)T = 43.575*20 = 871.5 m

(iv) Velocity of the bomb when it strikes ground
vertical velocity with respect to time
V(T) =vy+aT...................(2)
Substitute values, vy=58.1 m/s, a=-9.81 m/s^2
V(T) = 58.130 + (-9.81)T => 
V(20)=58.130-(9.81)(20) = -138.1 m/s (vertical velocity at strike)

vx = 43.575 m/s (horizontal at strike)
resultant velocity = sqrt(43.575^2+(-138.1)^2) = 144.812 m/s  (magnitude)
in direction theta = atan(43.575,138.1) 
= 17.5 degrees with the vertical, downward and forward. (direction)
