Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.
The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.
The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.
The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.
It provides a low resistance path to the ground.
Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.
ANSWER:
C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.
Answer:
Explanation:
A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.
F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring
k is the spring constant.
negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.
In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that
Inserting this into Hooke's Law
computing it for x,
This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.
Zinc metal (Zn) reacts with sulfur (S) to create zinc sulfide (ZnS), and the chemical reaction is: Zn (s) + S (s) = ZnS (s).
Importance of Zinc (Zn) and sulfur (S):
- Zinc(Zn) is a vital element that our systems need to absorb food and nutrients as well as create healthy skin and bones. Zinc(Zn) ions play a crucial role in a number of the body's enzymes.
- Sulfur(S) is a pale yellow, tasteless, brittle solid that is also necessary for life. It is found in many proteins as well as the amino acids cysteine and methionine. It is a trace element found in bone minerals, bodily fluids, and lipids.
Chemical reaction -
In this experiment, heating a zinc(Zn) and sulfur(S) combination causes an interesting chemical reaction. A blinding flash of light, hot sparks, a hissing sound, and a cloud of white smoke in the shape of a mushroom are produced.
Therefore, the following chemical processes are taking place in the reaction: Zn (s) + S (s) = ZnS (s).

The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.
