Answer:

Not to have any contact between fuel pump and tank.

Explanation:

Static spark occurs when there is a imbalance of electric charges at surface of any material. This can even result into high damage especially while filling boat tank, hence measures should be taken to prevent static sparks.

* Make sure not to have any contact between the brim or surface of fuel pump and the tank's opening.

* Fill the tank carefully without spilling the fuel in water.

* Never fill the tank up to its maximum capacity.

To prevent static sparks that could occur while you fill fuel is that, a person who is filling the tank should remember that the nozzle of the fuel pump hose should always be in connected or in contact to the tank. This will prevent static sparks from happening to the boat that is going to be used and prevent harm to the person using or refilling the fuel.

A battery of voltage V delivers power P to a resistor of resistance R connected to it. By what factor will the power delivered t

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power P = V² / R

a ) The resistance is changed to 2.90R

Power will become 1 / 2.9 times .

b )The voltage of the battery is now 2.90V, but the resistance is R

P = (2.9V)² / R

= 8.41 x V² / R

So power becomes 8.41 times

c )The resistance is 2.90R and voltage is 2.90V

Power P = (2.9V)² / 2.9 R

= 2.9 V²/R

So power becomes 2.9 times

d ) The resistance is 2.90R and the voltage is V/2.90

Power P = ( V/2.90)² x 1 / 2.90R

1 / ( 2.9 )³ x V² / R

= 1 / 24.389 x V² / R

So power becomes 1 / 24.389 times .

Answer:

The current would stop

Explanation:

Electric currents are interesting because they carry little to no momentum. As soon as you remove a power source, the whole current halts.

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342m/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune wi

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a.3Hz

b.0.0034m

Explanation:

First, we know the flute is an open pipe, because open pipe as both end open and a close organ pipe as only one end close.

The formula relating the length and he frequency is giving as

$f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\$ .

a.we first determine the length of the flute at the fundamental frequency i.e when <em>n</em>=1 and when the speed is in the 342m/s

Hence from

$f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\\\l=\frac{342}{2*440}\\ l=0.389m\\$ .

since the value of the length will remain constant, we now use the value to determine the frequency when the air becomes hotter and the speed becomes 345m/s.

$f=\frac{nv}{2l} \\f=\frac{345}{2*0.389}\\f=443.4Hz$

Hence the require beat is

$B=/f_{1}-f_{2}/\\B=/440-443/\\B=3Hz$ .

b. since the length is dependent also on the speed and frequency, we determine the new length when she plays with a fundamental frequency when the speed of sound is 345m/s

using the formula

$L_{new}=\frac{v}{2f}\\\\L_{new}=\frac{345}{2*440}\\\\L_{new}=0.39204$

Now to determine the extension,

$L_{extend}=L_{new}-L_{old}\\L_{extend}=0.39204- 0.38864\\L_{extend}=0.0034m\\$

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha

Setler [38]

When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.
