Birds sitting on a single power line don't get shocked because there is no path for the current to flow to the __________.

Physics

Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>Ground.</h2>

Explanation:

Basically, the reason why birds don't get electrically shocked, it's because they only reach a single path of the current. However, if they are able to toch something connected to the groun while they are on a cable, they will be shocked, becuase they are completeling the electrical cicle needed to flow the electricity.

Having said that, even a person can do that. Someone can grab a single power line without touching the ground or other cable, and that person will be fine, there can be thousands of volts and amperes, but that person will be totally fine.

Therefore, the word missing here is <em>ground. </em>

An open pipe is 1.42 m long
lora16 [44]

Answer:

the fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is 120.78 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the open pipe, L = 1.42 m

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

The length of the open pipe for the fundamental frequency is equivalent to half of wavelength;

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \\\\\lambda = 2L

The fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is calculated as;

f_o = \frac{v}{\lambda} \\\\f_o = \frac{v}{2L} \\\\f_o = \frac{343}{2 \times 1.42} \\\\f_o = 120.78 \ Hz

Therefore, the fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is 120.78 Hz

Can anyone define thermostat and list electrical appliances that have a thermostat?
Tresset [83]
A thermostat is a switch that operates itself when the temperature
goes above or below a temperature that the user can set.

-- Before you go to bed, you set the thermostat for 65° .
If the temperature in the house goes below 65° during the night,
the thermostat turns on the furnace, and keeps it running until
the house warms up to 65°.  Then it shuts the furnace off.

-- After breakfast, you set the thermostat for 75°.
If the temperature in the house goes above 75°, during the day, 
the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and keeps it running until
the house cools down to 75°.  Then it shuts the air conditioner off.  

-- On Sunday morning, you put the slow cooker on the kitchen counter,
and you throw in a big roast, a sliced onion, some baby carrots, some
sliced potatoes, some vegetable stock, salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder,
and tomato paste.  Then you put the cover on, turn the power on, and
set the slow cooker to "LOW".  The heater in the slow cooker turns on.
  Whenever the temperature in the crock gets higher than 160°, the
thermostat in the slow cooker turns off the heater, and keeps it off
until the crock cools down to 160°.  Then the thermostat turns the
heater on again.
  By dinner time, you have a hot, juicy, scrumptious pot roast, ready
to eat.  It's not too hot, not too cold, not too tough, not dried out, and
it melts in your mouth.
You're still thinking about it when you go to bed, and your mom gives you
a slice to take to school for your lunch on Monday.

The water that powers the generators enters and leaves the system at a low speed (thus we can neglect its change of kinetic ener
madam [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let density of water be ρ .

During flow , volume of water flowing per second is constant

loss of P. E per unit volume  = ρ gh , 83.5 % is lost

Gain of K E per unit volume = 1/2  ρ v²

83.5 % of mgh =   ρ 1/2  ρ v²

1/2  ρ v² =  .835 x 9.8

v² =  2 x .835 x 9.8

= 16.366

v = 4.04 m /s
