Standard twist-on wire connectors are not suitable for terminating or splicing aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductors.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Twist-on wire connectors are a sort of electrical conduit used only to fasten two or more small tension (or extra-low tension) electrical conductors.They are also called wire nuts, wire connectors or cone connectors( because of their conical shape). They are not suitable for for terminating or splicing aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductors.

Hence the above statement is true.

A fire hose has an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose carries a flow of 40.0 L/s starting at a gauge pressure of 1.

inessss [21]

Answer:

The Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 6.40 cm

Rate of flow = 40.0 L/s

Pressure $P=1.62\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$

We need to calculate the Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose

Using formula of rate of flow

$Q=Av$

$v=\dfrac{Q}{A}$

Where, Q = rate of flow

A = area of cross section

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{3.14\times(3.2\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v=12.44\ m/s$

We need to calculate the Reynolds number

Using formula of the Reynolds number

$n_{R}=\dfrac{2\rho\times v\times r}{\eta}$

Where, $\eta$ =viscosity of fluid

$\rho$ =density of fluid

Put the value into the formula

$n_{R}=\dfrac{2\times100\times12.44\times3.2\times10^{-2}}{1.002\times10^{-3}}$

$n_{R}=7.945\times10^{5}$

Hence, The Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose.

Two planets P1 and P2 orbit around a star S in circular orbits with speeds v1 = 40.2 km/s, and v2 = 56.0 km/s respectively. If t

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: $3.66(10)^{33}kg$

Explanation:

We are told both planets describe a circular orbit around the star S. So, let's approach this problem begining with the angular velocity $\omega$ of the planet P1 with a period $T=750years=2.36(10)^{10}s$ :
