A device that detects small current differences and prevents electrocution that is often required as a safety measure for bathroom, kitchen, and exterior outlets is referred to as: Ground-fault interrupter.

<h3>What are arc-fault circuit interrupter?</h3>

According to "Article 100 Arc-Fault Circuit interrupter (AFCI)," arc-fault circuit interrupter is an electrical device which is designed and developed to deenergize the electrical circuit whenever it detects and recognizes characteristics unique to arcing.

Similarly, a ground-fault interrupter simply refers to an electrical device that is designed and developed for the detection of small current differences in an electrical circuit.

The main purpose of a ground-fault interrupter is to prevent electrocution or electrical shock and as such, it is an important safety measure for the following areas in a building:

  • Bathroom
  • Kitchen
  • Exterior outlets

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 13.9 rad. Du
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) Angular acceleration is 1.112 rad/s².

(b) Average angular velocity is 2.78 rad/s .

Explanation:

The equation of motion in Rotational kinematics is:

θ = θ₀ + 0.5αt²

Here θ is angular displacement at time t, θ₀ is angular displacement at time t=0, t is time and α is constant angular acceleration.

(a) According to the problem, θ is 13.9 rad, θ₀ is zero as it is at rest and t is 5 s. Put these values in the above equation:

13.9 = 0 + 0.5α(5)²

α = 1.112 rad/s²

(b) The equation of average angular velocity is:

ω = Δθ/Δt

ω = \frac{13.9}{5}

ω = 2.78 rad/s
