The outlet itself produces the electrical energy, whilst the cord is merely a conductor in which the energy can flow through. By handling the cord, rather than the outlet, you have a barrier between yourself and the electrical current.

The second one because you don't get shocked by plugging in something you can get electricted by putting something thin in the outlet then it will send a shock to your hand

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. 28.09 amu

Explanation:

The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance),  X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and  X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).

The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.

The atomic weight is computed as follows:

atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of  X-30 × fractional abundance

atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 ×  0.0310

atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194

atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu

To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of .750 km. Assuming that sound travels at 340 m/s in air what is the t
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of 0.750 km.

d = 750 m

The speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

We need to find the between the person see and hear a firework explosion. let it is t. So, using the formula of speed.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{750\ m}{340\ m/s}\\\\t=2.2\ s

So, the required time is 2.2 seconds.

I need help on number 5. We need to use one of the four kinematics equations.
Gnom [1K]

ANSWER

35.02m

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Initial velocity, u = 26.2 m/s

When the vase reaches its maximum height, its velocity becomes 0 m/s. That is the final velocity.

We can now apply one of Newton's equations of motion to find the height:

v^2=u^2-2as

where a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, we have that:

\begin{gathered} 0=26.2^2-2(9.8)s \\ \Rightarrow19.6s=686.44 \\ s=\frac{686.44}{19.6} \\ s=35.02m \end{gathered}

That is the height that the vase will reach.

A 50 N object is on Earth. What is its mass?
faust18 [17]

Answer:   5.10 KG

Explanation:  W = 50 N

                       BY FORMULA

                         W = MG

                          M = W/G

                          M = 50 /9.8

                          M=  5.10 KG
