Answer:
d. At the base of the fire
Explanation:
Most fire extinguisher utilize the non-combustible nature of carbon-dioxide . carbon-dioxide is what is used in fire extinguishers, because it does not support burning. Also, carbon-dioxide is denser than air, allowing it to sink down. Aiming at the bottom of the flame allows the carbon-dioxide to sink down on the base of the flame, covering the base of the fire, and cutting off its supply of oxygen which is vital for combustion.
Explanation:
because there is no air to communicate
Answer:
88 Watts
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Resistance (R) = 0.22 Ohm
Current (I) = 20 A
Power (P) =.?
P = IV....... (1)
From ohm's law,
V = IR ........ (2)
Substitute the value of V in equation (2) into equation (1)
P = IV
V = IR
P = I(IR)
P = I²R
With the above formula (i.e P = I²R), we can obtain the power lost to heat as follow:
Resistance (R) = 0.22 Ohm
Current (I) = 20 A
Power (P) =.?
P = I²R
P = 20² × 0.22
P = 400 × 0.22
P = 88 Watts
Thus, the power lost to heat is 88 Watts.
Answer:
convection
Explanation:
Heat transfer by convection is caused by differences of temperature and density within a fluid.
The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.
The resistance is 2,050Ω .
Voltage = (current) x (resistance)
= (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω) = 104.6 volts .
==================
This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.
I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as 15 mA through the
heart can be fatal, not 51 mA .
If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as 31 volts !
The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is 120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
