Answer:

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state in which the algebraic sum of all forces acting on an object is zero. Thus the object has no force acting on it. The types are: stable, unstable and neutral equilibrium. While a torque is a turning force which are equal but acts in an opposite direction. When applied to on object, it constitute a turning effect. Example is the force applied on a tap, handle wheel of a car etc.

In the given question, the condition stated shows that the stick would experience a torque, thus not in equilibrium. Since the forces at its ends are in opposite directions, then it continues to rotate about its axis.

alexira [117]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

Yes, the heating of filament is what causes the light production (photon emission), and this heating is caused because of current in the light bulb

(H= i^2*R*t i=current, H= heat, t= time and R= resistance).But using constant current source is not a good idea because in constant current source resistance is very low that can cause short circuit and ultimately fusing it. Whereas in constant voltage source current adjusts itself and prevents fusing because of high resistance in the circuit.

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30 degrees, and the diffracti
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength is 3500 nm.

Explanation:

d= \frac{1}{700 lines per mm} = 0.007mm = 7000 nm

n= 1

θ= 30°

λ= unknown

Solution:

d sinθ = nλ

λ = \frac{7000 nm sin 30}{1}

λ = 3500 nm
