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

Which best describes a relationship among the vectors? Vectors P and Py are components of vector Px. Vectors Px and Py are compo
mafiozo [28]
If we have a vector P, then we name it's components by the axis we project it onto.

In 2D Cartesian coordinate system we have one x axis and one y axis.

Vector P can then be represented with two components: Px and Py.

Px is the component of vector P on the x axis and Py is the component of the vector P on the y axis.

A Chevy Camaro drives straight off the top level off a parking garage at 13 m/s. If the car landed 90 meters away from the base
scoray [572]

Answer:

234.64 m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range;

Range R = u√2H/g

u is the speed = 13m/s

H is the maximum height

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9,8m/s²

R = 90m

Get the maximum height;

90 = 13√2H/9.8

90/13 = √2H/9.8

6.923 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

6.923² = 2H/9.8

469.698 = 2H

H = 469.698/2

H = 234.64

Hence the top level was 234.64 m high.

An artist wants to create a metal sculpture using a mold so that his artwork can be readily mass produced. He wants his sculptur
lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

Suppose you increase the height of the object without changing its depth under water. What will happen to the force due to press
Natali [406]

Answer:Remains same

Explanation:

Given

It is given that the depth is constant and we are only increasing the  height of object submerged in the water

thus Force due to Pressure remains same as this force depends upon the depth of object with respect to free surface of Fluid.

Pressure at a depth h with density \rhoof fluid is given by

P=\rho \times g\times h

and Force=Pressure \times area
