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.

What are the properties of sound waves and how do they affect the sound?
Marina86 [1]
The more sound waves a sound produces, the higher the pitch. Meaning if a sound has a high frequency, it will produce a high-pitched, shrill sound, while sounds with a lower frequency produce lower, deeper sounds, like bass sounds. ( i hope this helps)

Ted William drops a ball from 14.5 meter to a desk that is 1.9 meters tall. What is the final speed of the ball right before it
makkiz [27]

Answer:

15.7m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we use the right motion equation.

 Here, we have been given the height through which the ball drops;

 Height of drop = 14.5m - 1.9m  = 12.6m

The right motion equation is;

      V²  = U² + 2gh

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity  = 0

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

       V² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x 12.6

      V²  = 246.96

       V = √246.96  = 15.7m/s

Where are overcurrent protective devices normally installed in a branch circuit?
love history [14]

Overcurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.

V=IR

V is the voltage,I is the current and R is the resistance

The vercurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

Thus, In a branch circuit, overcurrent safety devices are often located from where the conductors get their supply.
