So we want to know what is the purpose of a lanyard attached to a safety switch. So in case the operator falls overboard a safety switch is installed and connected to the operators hand or waist. Which ever is more practical. This safety switch turns off the motor.

Answer:

To turn the engine off in a situation of pilot of person overboard.

Explanation:

Various safety laws have been implemented to prevent damage due to boats in case the person driving the boat goes overboard i.e. falls off the boat. One of these mandates the use of lanyard type cutoff switch with the lanyard tied to the wrist or clothes of the person driving the boat. In case the person goes overboard the engine will be cutoff as the lanyard will pull along the cutoff switch as well.

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.
stiks02 [169]

Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m

What is the direction of the centripetal force when applied to an object?
mihalych1998 [28]
For an object moving in a path that's a circle or a part of one,
the centripetal force acts in the direction toward the center of
the circle.  That direction is perpendicular to the way the object
is moving.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL THINKING

The presence of potential energy  between particles supports the shape of a heating curve.

<h2>Potential energy and heating curve</h2>

The existence of potential energy  between particles supports the shape of a heating curve because potential energy causes the heating curve flat as well as in curve form. The heating curves show how the temperature changes as a substance is heated up.

The potential energy of the molecules will increase anytime energy is being supplied to the system but the temperature is not increasing so when the heating curve go flat it means there is potential energy so we can conclude that the existence of potential energy  between particles supports the shape of a heating curve.

A wire of resistivity ρ must be replaced in a circuit by a wire of the same material but four times as long. If, however, the to
Elanso [62]

Answer:

E. two times the original diameter

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρ L/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

For a round wire with diameter d:

R = ρ L / (¼ π d²)

The two wires must have the same resistance, so:

ρ₁ L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = ρ₂ L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The wires are made of the same material, so ρ₁ = ρ₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The new length is four times the old, so 4 L₁ = L₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 L₁ / (¼ π d₂²)

1 / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 / (¼ π d₂²)

Solving:

1 / (d₁²) = 4 / (d₂²)

(d₂²) / (d₁²) = 4

(d₂ / d₁)² = 4

d₂ / d₁ = 2

So the new wire must have a diameter twice as large as the old wire.
