Answer:

Connect the outboard boat to the earth

Explanation:

During re-fueling, small charges are generated. These charges result in some small electrostatics being generated. The generated static energy results in small electric sparks. If the object is not properly earthed, the will be a fire even from a very small spark. Thus, an earth system is needed to prevent a fire from taking place. The earth absorbs excess electrons. This prevents fires from taking place.

The portable tank should be connected to earth to neutralise rhe charges to prevent sudden discharge which may cause sparks and lead to fire.

A bus is traveling with a uniform acceleration of 2.75 meters/second2. If the initial velocity of the bus is 16.5 meters/second,
Kaylis [27]
<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

Pressure in fluids is given as the product of density, height and acceleration due to gravity and expressed as

P=hdg

Where h is the height, d is density, g is acceleration due to gravity and P is pressure.

Making h the subject of formula then

h=P/dg

Given specific gravity of a substance, its density is equal to specific gravity multiplied by density of water. Taking density of pure water as 1000 kg/m³ then the density of reference fluid will be 1.05*1000=1050 kg/m³

Substituting pressure with 1.29*10³ pa as given then taking g as 9.81 m/s² then

H=1.29*10³÷(9.81*1050)=0.1252366389981068880151448958788408329692m

Rounded off, the height is approximately 0.125 m
