Answer: Earth wire

Explanation: In the three-pronged plug , left pin is neutral and color of this pin wire is black, right pin is phase and color of this pin wire is red and third pin which is larger then other two is earth pin and color of this pin wire is green.

Third pin use for safety from the shock and to control high voltage of electricity.

So, the third wire in a three-pronged plug is called earth wire.

A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1.52 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Maximum force=F=679 N

Mass of rock ,m=385 kg

Distance,d=0.233 m

We have to find the minimum total length L of the rod required to move the rock.

Torque on rock= $T_1=mgd=385\times 9.8\times 0.233=879.11 N$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

Torque on man= $T_2=Force\times distance=(L-d)\times 679=(L-0.233)\times 679$

$T_1=T_2$

$(L-0.233)\times 679=879.11$

$L-0.233=\frac{879.11}{679}=1.29$

$L=1.29+0.233=1.523\approx 1.52 m$

Hence, the minimum total length of rod=1.52 m

The graph below shows the variation with distance r from the nucleus of the square of the wave function, Ψ^2, of a hydrogen atom

Ludmilka [50]

The region a represents the distance of the electron from the nucleus.

According to the wave mechanical model of the atom, the probability of finding an electron within a given volume element (representing the atom) is the square of the wave function psi.

Since a is the region in space where there is the greatest probability of finding the electron in the atom, it follows that distance of the electron form the atom is always a.

What is the speed of a car that traveled 500 meter in 30 seconds?

GenaCL600 [577]

<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the mass of each object doubles, how does the gravitational force between the

madam [21]

Answer:

The gravitational force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to law of gravitation, the force of attraction (F) between two masses m1 and m2 is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(r) between them. Mathematically,

F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

If their masses doubles, the formula becomes;

F2 = G(2m1)(2m2)/r²

F2 = 4Gm1m2/r² ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1, we have;

F2/F1 = {4Gm1m2/r²}÷{Gm1m2/r²}

F2/F1 = 4Gm1m2/r²×r²/Gm1m2

F2/F1 = 4

F2 = 4F1

The gravitational force between the masses when they doubles quadruples.
