When we turn on a switch it helps complete the electric circuit and the current passes from the positive to the negative in the

switch, yet we don’t get shocked. Why?
Physics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We don't get shocked because of the type of materials used in the switch is a poor conductor of electricity

Explanation:

Yes it is quite amazing we don't get shocked, this is because of resistance of the type of materials used in the switch (non conductors of electricity) so that when you try to put on a switch no current passes through you, mostly the material are made from plastics Or ceramics which are actually poor conductors of electricity.

A wave travelling 140 m/sec with a wavelength of 4.0 m has what frequency? _______________Meters / Hz / seconds
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The frequency of a wave is 35 Hz.

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is 140 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 4 m

It is required to find the frequency. The relation between frequency, speed and the wavelength of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

f is frequency

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{140\ m/s}{4\ m}\\\\f=35\ Hz

So, the frequency of a wave is 35 Hz.

All isotopes of a particular element have the same atomic number. How then do the isotopes of a particular element differ?
xz_007 [3.2K]
Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons
