What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?

1 answer:

It’s designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, usually resulting from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

That’s really just the basic purpose.

Many Amtrak trains can travel at a top speed of 42.0 m/s. Assuming a train maintains that speed for several hours, how many kilo

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert 42 m/s ⇒ km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

$42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\$

$0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}$

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4 hours

$V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\$

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

$V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\$

and replacing

$s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\$

S=604.8 Km

Have a great day

Calculate the net force on particle q1. First, find the direction of the force particle q2 is exerting on particle q1. Is it pus

ValentinkaMS [17]

The net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

<h3>Force on q1 due to q2</h3>

F(12) = kq₁q₂/r₂

F(12) = (9 x 10⁹ x 13 x 10⁻⁶ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.25²)

F(12) = -14.41 N (towards left)

<h3>Force on q1 due to q3</h3>

F(13) = (9 x 10⁹ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.9 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.55²)

F(13) = 1.352 N (towards right)

<h3>Net force on q1</h3>

F(net) = 1.352 N - 14.41 N

F(net) = -13.06 N

Thus, the net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h

Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}$

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

$\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T$

Where, $\Delta T$ = temperature difference

$\alpha$ =Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})$

$\Delta L=0.42\ m$

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.
