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.

Can something change states of matter how do you know
belka [17]
Yes, it can change states of matter from heat. Like ice, ice changes it’s state of matter from the temperature it is in, which causes it to turn into a liquid.(another form of matter) Again with heat, if water is boiled to a certain temperature it converts to a gas. Now with cold. If water is at such a coke temperature it will turn to ice, a form of matter. Now when a gas is cooled down, the atoms comprising the gas have less energy to move around.

Answer:

9704.6 J

Explanation:

Total Thermal Energy

= Energy required to bring gold to melting point + Energy required to change the state of gold from solid to liquid

= mcT + <em>m</em><em>l</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em> </em>[bolded is energy used to bring gold to melting point, <em>i</em><em>t</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>c</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em>e</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>g</em><em>o</em><em>l</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>o</em><em>l</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>i</em><em>d</em><em>]</em>

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
