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.

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

A typical oil control ring consists of _______ separate part(s).
azamat
<span>A. three</span><span>

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because  the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.</span>

light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The distance traveled in 1 year is: 3.143*10^{16}ft

Explanation:

Given

s = 982,080,000 ft/s --- speed

t = 32,000,000 s --- time

Required

The distance traveled

This is calculated as:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

So, we have:

Distance = Speed * Time

This gives:

Distance = 982,080,000 ft/s * 32,000,000 s

Distance = 982,080,000  * 32,000,000ft

Distance = 3.143*10^{16}ft -- approximated

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .
