Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.

The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.

The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.

If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.

The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.

It provides a low resistance path to the ground.

Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.

ANSWER:

C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.

Both atypical and traditional antipsychotics _____ levels of _____.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Both atypical and traditional antipsychotics <u>blocks</u> levels of<u> </u><u>serotonin</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

These drugs are capable of reducing or turning off positive psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and language and behavior disorder.

In addition to also acting as mood stabilizers, they have an impact on mania, depression, and produce low anxiety.

These anti-psychotics work on the 5-HT2A receptor, it belongs to the family of serotonin receptors and it is a G protein-coupled receptor. 5-HT is short for 5-hydroxy-tryptamine, the chemical name for serotonin.

This receptor became notorious for its importance as a target for drugs like LSD. Later it became important again due to the action of many antipsychotic drugs, especially atypical ones.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)
