What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?

Physics

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.

Which tem decorbes the perceived frequency of a sound wave?
JulsSmile [24]

Pitch

Explanation:

The pitch of a sound wave is the perceived frequency of a sound wave.

The quality of sound that makes it discernible to the ear is the pitch.

  • Sound wave is a longitudinal wave that is transmitted by series of rarefaction and compression.
  • Pitch helps to distinguish between the different sound qualities.
  • Pitch is how high or low sound is perceived.

Suppose that a comet has a very eccentric orbit that brings it quite close to the Sun at closest approach (perihelion) and beyon
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.63min

Explanation:

The question is about the period of the comet in its orbit.

To find the period you can use one of the Kepler's law:

T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3

T: period

G: Cavendish constant = 6.67*10^-11 Nm^2 kg^2

r: average distance = 1UA = 1.5*10^11m

M: mass of the sun = 1.99*10^30 kg

By replacing you obtain:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{GM}r^3}=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}(1.496*10^8m)^3}\\\\T=997.9s\approx16.63min

the comet takes around 16.63min

What is the intensity of a sound with a sound intensity level (SIL) 67 dB, in units of W/m^2?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

Explanation:

We have expression for sound intensity level (SIL),

              L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )

Here we need to find the intensity of sound (I).

               L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )\\\\log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )=0.1L\\\\\frac{I}{I_0}=10^{0.1L}\\\\I=I_010^{0.1L}

Substituting

          L = 67 dB and I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m² in the equation

          I=I_010^{0.1L}=10^{-12}\times 10^{0.1\times 65}\\\\I_0=10^{-12}\times 10^{6.5}=10^{-5.5}=3.16\times 10^{-6}W/m^2

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

__________________________ are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Planets are bodies of rock or gas that are named after ancient gods.

Asteroids and Meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are more like the Earth.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter.

Explanation:

The planets and other stars in our solar system were similarly baptized. The planets were named after ancient gods. Other stars were baptized with names chosen by scientists or according to their peculiarity. Most of the planets were baptized by ancient Chinese astronomers, and later, by Babylonians. But over time different civilizations changed the names of the planets.

An asteroid is a smaller body in the solar system, usually on the order of just a few hundred kilometers. Meteoroids, in turn, are fragments of rocks that form from comets and asteroids. The luminous effect is produced when fragments of celestial bodies ignite in contact with the Earth's atmosphere due to friction. Both asteroids and meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are the most similar to the earth. These planets are those formed mainly by rocks and metals, have a solid surface without the incidence of rings, as is the case with Mercury, Venus and Mars.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter. This probe has already given us several unprecedented discoveries about the largest gas giant in the Solar System, in addition to sending us sensational images showing the complex and beautiful atmosphere of the planet.
