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.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i

here we know that

P_1 = P_2

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv

now from above equation we have

P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)

mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Calculate the speed of an 8.0x10^4 kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 1.1x10^9 j ...?
Over [174]
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object on motion. it is expressed as follows:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:


KE = 0.5mv^2
1.1x10^9 J = 0.5(8.0x10^4 kg) v^2
v = 165.83 m/s

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two  waves and are normally transverse in nature.
