Eduardwww [97]3 years ago

A ground wire provides a conducting path to the earth which is separate and independent from the path of an electrical appliance. Also, a ground wire is an additional pathway for an electric current to safely return to the ground without imposing danger to anyone in the event that a short circuit might occur. This is particularly important for shock hazard since it forces the breaker to trip by supplying a path to the ground if ever a hot wire comes in contact with a metal case of the appliance.

A fuses and circuit breakers limit the current which can possibly flow in a circuit. The metal filament present in the fuse will melt and break the connection. On the other hand, the circuit breaker with its bimetallic strip's heating effect causes a bending and tripping of a spring-loaded switch.

3000 N is exerted for 4.0 seconds on a 9500 kg object.<br><br> What is the change in momentum?
WARRIOR [948]
Force is the change in momentum over a specific time. The change of momentum is therefore the force multiplied by the time that the force acts, so 3000x4.0=12000 N s=12000 kg m/s

You need to make a very dilute solution of sodium phosphate dihydrate (MW 142 g/mol, FW 178 g/mol). How many grams of sodium pho
dlinn [17]

Answer:

first question is 178 g of sodium phosphate dihydrate. second question is 0.25 mL

Explanation:

To know the number of grams from the number of moles (0.5L*2mol/L)= 1mol. 1 mol is equal to 178 g. Second question mL of the stock is obtained from (0.1L*5.0^-3mol/L)/2mol/L.

Write a explanation explaining why red is a beautiful color is not a hypothesis
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.

The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.

A planet moves fastest in its orbit around the sun when it is at which position?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.
