5 0

Overcurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.

V=IR

V is the voltage,I is the current and R is the resistance

The vercurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

Thus, In a branch circuit, overcurrent safety devices are often located from where the conductors get their supply.

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the

zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

$Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J$

$=25*10^6\ J$

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

$Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J$

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal

kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

hyp = 636.6 ft

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

What force is necessary to keep a mass of 0.8 kg revolving in a horizontal circle of radius 0.7 m with a period of 0.5 s? What i

inn [45]

Answer:

88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mv²/r................... Equation 1

F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.

But,

v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2

Where t = time, π = pie

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(2πr/t)²/r

F = 4π²r²m/t²r

F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²

F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle
