What should you do when fueling an outboard boat with a portable tank?

Physics
2 answers:
bonufazy [111]2 years ago

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.

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, what is its hang time?
Kamila [148]
A projectile motion is characterized by motion moving in a direction of an arc. It is acted upon by two component vectors: the horizontal and vertical. These two vectors are independent of each other when it comes to time of flight. The horizontal direction travels at constant speed, while the vertical direction travels at constant acceleration due to gravity, The time for an object to reach the ground would be equal, whether dropped from the sampe point or thrown in a projectile motion. Of course, this is assuming ideality wherein there is no air resistance.

So, the hang up time, or the time the object stayed on air is calculated using this equation:

a = Δv/t
Δv is the change in velocity which is the initial velocity when it was dropped to when it reaches zero velocity when it hits the ground.
9.81 m/s² = |(0 - 7.3)|/t
t = 0.744 seconds

A hammer is used to hit a nail into a board. Which statement is correct about the forces at play between the nail and the hammer
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answer is down below!!

Explanation:

The answer is C) The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

Reason: The Newtons third law states that there is an equal an opposite reaction for every action. When hammer pushes the nail, the nail will push the hammer back in opposite direction. When the hammer hits a nail then nail will exert the equal and opposite force to the hammer. These both objects will exert force on each other in opposite directions.

Hope this helps!! =3

Have a great day, evening, of night!! <3

True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?
slava [35]

The statement is false.  Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion.  (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)
