A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.

kherson [118]

The function of sleep theory supported by the illustration is sleep conserves and protects.

<h3>Positive impact of sleep</h3>

From the first sentence, bats sleep a lot because they face little danger from predators and as such, they have a high-calorie diet of insects.

<h3>Negative impact of sleep</h3>

From the second sentence, cows sleep less, because they face more danger from predators and as such, they have a low-calorie diet of insects.

We can conclude that sleep helps to keep animal safe. Therefore, the correct option will be, "Sleep conserves and protects".

What the density of an object that has a volume of 20ml and mass of 3g.​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density

m = mass

and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us  

V(D) = m  

now we divide D on both sides giving us

V = m/D  

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3

so

V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL

 

If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert

The density is 1.5 g/cm^3. the mass is 1500. what is the volume
Naddik [55]
The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. In this case however we are searching for the volume and must rearrange the formula so that we are solving for the volume. If you multiply both sides by volume and then divide both sides by mass you end up with the equation Volume = Mass/Density.

Volume = 1500g/1.5g/cm^3
Volume = 1000 cm^3

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

83.055  m

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation of skid distance is shown below:-

S = \frac{1}{2} \times (u + v) \times t

Where  

u = 11.3

v = 0

t = 14.7

Now placing these values to the above formula,

So,

S = \frac{1}{2} \times (11.3 + 0) \times 14.7

= 83.055  m

Therefore for computing the skid distance we simply applied the above formula i.e by considering the all items given in the question
