this problem occurs in petroleum firefighting when fire streams are applied to the burning liquid surface at such an angle that

hot and / or burning oil is forced over the edge of the tank. the oil then flows down the side of the tank and you are now confronted with a fire on the ground as well as the one in the tank. this best defines which problem?

Petroleum has less density than water. So, when fire streams are applied to the burning liquid surface at such an angle that hot and / or burning oil is forced over the edge of the tank, the oil then flows down the side of the tank and you are now confronted with a fire on the ground as well as the one in the tank.

<h3>What are the reasons not to use fire streams during deal with  burning oil?</h3>

When you spray water on a regular fire, you're attempting to lower the flame's temperature and contain the fire.

Fuel for an oil fire is oil. Temperature and oxidizer are present in a fire (oxygen). Due to the fact that oil is lighter than water, an explosion may result if it floats above water while water sinks beneath oil.

Consequently, water shouldn't be used to put out oil fires.

never [62]

Answer:

b) 7.00

Explanation:

N( t ) = -20( t - 5 )²

dN/ dt = -20 x 2 ( t - 5 )

For maximum N ( depth )

dN/dt = 0

- 40 ( t - 5 ) = 0

t = 5

So at 2 + 5 = 7 .00 am depth of water reaches its maximum.

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains four 75.0 resistors connected in parallel with a 100.0 V battery?
zhannawk [14.2K]
To get the total resistance in a parallel circuit, you need to remember that unlike in a series, you do not just merely add the resistances. You need to get the reciprocal first of each resistance and add them together. 

\frac{1}{R_{T}} =  \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}... +\frac{1}{R_{n}}

After adding them, you will get the reciprocal again and then compute for the value. The problem says that there are 4 resistors in the circuit that have a resistance of 75.

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}+\frac{1}{75}

Add up the numerator and copy the denominator:

\frac{1}{R_{T}} = \frac{4}{75}

Then get the reciprocal to get the total resistance:

R _{T} = \frac{75}{4}  = 18.75

The answer to your question then is A. 18.8.
