What is an electric fuse? What is the working principle of electric fuse?
user100 [1]
<h2>What is an electric fuse?</h2><h3>Answer: Electric fuse is a safety device used to limit the current in an electric circuit which melts and breaks the circuit whenever there is an excess flow of current through the circuit.</h3><h2>What is the working principle of electric fuse?</h2><h3>An electric fuse is based on the principle of heating effect of electric current. It is made up of thin metallic wire of non-combustible material. A fuse is always connected between the ends of the terminal in a series connection with the circuit.</h3>

The potential at location A is 382 V. A positively charged particle is released there from rest and arrives at location B with a
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 247.67 V

Explanation:

Given

Potential At A V_a=382\ V

Potential at V_c=785\ V

when particle starts from A it reaches with velocity v_b at Point while when it starts from C it reaches at point B with velocity 2v_b

Suppose m is the mass of Particle

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From A to B

q\cdot \left ( V_a-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (v_b)^2----1

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From C to B

q\cdot \left ( V_c-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (2v_b)^2-----2

Divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{V_a-V_b}{V_c-V_b}=\frac{v_b^2}{4v_b^2}

on solving we get

V_b=\frac{4}{3}\cdot V_a-\frac{1}{3}\cdot V_c

V_b=\frac{743}{3}=247.67\ V

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo
vaieri [72.5K]
Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement =  2m + (-3)m.               Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement  is 1m behind his original starting point.

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76
