Answer:

1. will blow because the total current in this circuit is 14 A which is greater than 12 A.

Explanation:

According to Kirchoff current law (KCL) which states that the total current flowing in a circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch current.

If the supply current is greater than the sum of the individual branch current, then the load will collapse or blow off.

In the question given, the total current of the fuse is 12A

Sum of branch currents = current in branch 1 + current in branch 2

= 8A+6A

= 14A

As we can see that the supply current is lower than the sum of the branch current, this will cause the fuse to blow because some of the branch current will be sent back on the fuse and thereby causing the fuse to blow.

The planet Krypton has a mass of 7.6 × 1023 kg and radius of 1.7 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall nea
olga55 [171]

Answer:

17.55 m/s²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Krypton, M = 7.6 * 10^23 kg

Radius, R = 1.7 * 10^6 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.6726 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Acceleration due to gravity of planet of mass M is given as:

g = GM/R²

Since the object is close to the surface of Krypton, we can say that the distance from the Centre of Krypton is the radius of the planet Krypton.

Therefore,

g = (6.6726 * 10^(-11) * 7.6 * 10^23)/(1.7 * 10^6)²

g = 17.55 m/s²

What best describes desert pavements
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A common theory suggests that desert pavements are formed through gradual removal of sand and other fine particles by the wind and intermittent rains leaving behind the large fragments. The larger rock particles are shaken into place by actions of different agents such as rain, wind, gravity, and animals

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J
