A circuit breaker may need to switch short circuit currents as high as _____ times its rated current.

Physics
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
7 0

A circuit breaker may need to switch short circuit currents as high as <u>fifteen (15)</u> times its rated current.

<u>Rated current</u> is basically the<u> maximum limiting current</u>. If the current exceeds its maximum limit, there will be overheating and, in severe circumstances, a <u>short circuit</u> will result.

A<u> circuit breaker</u> is a type of <u>electrical safety</u> device used to guard against short circuit damage to an electrical circuit.

An example of circuit breakers that are most frequently used in low voltage circuits is <u>Miniature Circuit Breakers</u> (MCBs).

These are the switches that automatically turn off when the current in a circuit exceeds the<u> safe limit</u>.

So, to ensure complete protection against <u>short circuits</u> & <u>overloading</u>, a circuit breaker may need to switch short circuit current as high as fifteen times its rated current.

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball travelling at a speed of 54 m/s?
Over [174]

Answer:

We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1.75 kg
  • Velocity v = 54 m/s

To determine

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?

We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

  • m is the mass (kg)
  • v is the velocity (m/s)
  • K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)

now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\left(1.75\right)\left(54\right)^2

K.E=1458\times 1.75

K.E=2551.5 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Given the force diagram of the basketball, what can you tell about the basketball motion?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Newton's laws allow to find the result for the movement of the basketballl:

  • On the vertical axis the ball is on the ground.
  • On the horizontal axis the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

Newton's laws establish the relationship between the forces on objects:

  • The 1st law states that if the net force is zero the object is stationary or with constant speed.
  • The 2nd law gives a relation of the force with the mass and the acceleration of the body.
  • The 3rd. Law states that the force appears in pairs, one on each body with the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction.

Let's apply these principles to the ball's motion diagram.

The two vertical forces are in the opposite direction, one is due to the weight of the body and the other is the attraction of the earth to the support of the ball, they are of equal magnitude, not their action-reaction force and reluctant because it is applied to the same body

       In conclusion we can say that the ball is on the ground.

The two horizontal forces are in the opposite direction, the thrust force is greater than the friction therefore using Newton's second law the ball must be accelerating in the direction of the thrust force.

       In conclusion we can say that the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

In conclusion using Newton's laws we can find the result for the motion of the basketball:

  • On the vertical axis the ball is on the ground.
  • On the horizontal axis the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

The coefficient of static friction between a book and the level surface it slides on is 0.65. If the mass of the book is 0.2 kg,
just olya [345]

Answer: 1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface

Explanation:

Mass of the book = m = 0.2 kg

Normal force acting on the book,N = mg

Coefficient of friction =mu_s = 0.65

Minimum force required to slide the book across the surface= F

F=\mu_s\times N

F=0.65\times 0.2 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2=1.274 N

1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface

An amount of energy is added to ice, raising its temperature from -10°C to -5°C. A larger amount of energy is added to the sam
lara [203]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) The specific heat of ice is less than that of water.

Explanation:

Here we have

Let the amount of energy added to the ice at -10 C to raise the temperature to -5 C be X J

Let the amount of energy added to the water at 15 C to raise the temperature to 20 C be Y J

We know that the heat required, ΔQ to raise the temperature of a substance is given by

ΔQ = m·c·Δθ

Where:

m = Mass of the substance

c = Specific heat capacity

Δθ = Temperature change

Since the mass of the ice and the water are the same, so also is the change in temperature, (-5 - (-10) = 5 and 20 - 15 = 5) we have

for m₂·c₂·Δθ₂ > m₁·c₁·Δθ₁

Where:

m₁, c₁, Δθ₁, is for the ice and m₂, c₂, Δθ₂ is for the water and

m₁ = m₂

Δθ₁ = Δθ₂

Therefore,

c₂ > c₁ = c₁ < c₂

That is the specific heat capacity of the ice is lesser than the specific heat capacity of the water.
