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.

If the battery of your phone can provide 2 mA of current to your phone and holds a charge of 130 C, how long will it take a full
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 65000 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Current (I) = 2 mA

(Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

2 mA = 2 x 10^-3A)

Charge (Q) = 130 C

Time taken for a fully charged phone to die (T) = ?

Recall that the charge is the product of current and time taken.

i.e Q = I x T

130C = 2 x 10^-3A x T

T = 130C / (2 x 10^-3A)

T = 65000 seconds (time will be in seconds because seconds is the unit of time)

Thus, it will take a fully charged phone 65000 seconds to die

A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori
Elena L [17]

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless.  I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
                                    Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
                                                                 </em>
That's about  <em>2.634 m/s²</em>  <em>

</em>
(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

       Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

A stone is dropped from from rest at the top of a mine shaft. It takes 95 seconds for the stone to fall to the bottom of the min
Marianna [84]

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance              =  (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

                                             =        44,222.5 meters  .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !
