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.

Answer: <u>In a divergent plate boundary</u>, seafloor spreading taking place. It leads to the formation of oceans as new materials are added here along the mid-oceanic ridge. There occur volcanism and shallow-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a convergent plate boundary</u>, two plates collide to form high mountain belts and also volcanic eruptions take place. There occur long chains of volcanic as well as island arcs, in association with deep-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a transform plate boundary</u>, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here.

The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements and many more. These continuous processes have configured the present shape of the earth's surface.

For example, the breaking up of the supercontinent Pangea divided into Laurasia and Gondwanaland and subsequently formed the present scenario. This separation of continents has taken place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle.

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J
