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

Physics

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.

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

A 210 kg meteoroid is heading toward the earth accelerates by 2.4 × 105 m/s2.
lidiya [134]
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
So, F = m * a

Here, m = 210 Kg
a = 2.4 * 10⁵ m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 210 * 2.4 * 10⁵ N
F = 504 * 10⁵ N
F = 5.04 * 10⁷ N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

A train traveling at 6.4 m/s accelerates at 0.10 m/s 2 over a distance of 100 m. How large is the train’s final velocity?
klasskru [66]

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
  • acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
  • distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

A 75.0 W bulb is connected to a
adoni [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

W = 75 watts

V = 110 volts

Formula

W = V * I

Solution

75 = 110 * I          Divide by 110

75 / 110 = I

I = 0.6818 Amperes
