The correct answer is B. Fuse.

Fuses were commonly used in houses up to recent ages, when circuit breakers became the more popular options, as they don't have to be changed every time they melt, since they don't melt.

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
katovenus [111]
The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

Consider the position vs. time graph below for a woman's movement in a hallway. What is the woman's velocity from 4 to 5 s?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The answer is "6\  \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

The formula for velocity:

\to \overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}

      =\frac{6}{1}\\\\=6\  \frac{m}{s}

How do mechanical waves compare with electromagnetic waves?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Main Difference Between Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves

A wave is composed of some kind of disturbance that propagates. We can classify waves into many different types based on their properties. One of the properties of the waves depends on whether they need a medium to propagate or not. The primary difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves is also based on this property. Mechanical waves need a medium, while electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. The other differences between mechanical and electromagnetic waves are given below:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is an empty space, whereas mechanical waves cannot. They need a medium to travel such as water or air. Ripples in a pond are an example of mechanical waves whereas electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals, which can travel through the vacuum of space.

Mechanical waves can be classed as elastic waves because their transmission depends on the medium's (water, air etc.) elastic properties.

Electromagnetic waves are caused because of the varying magnetic and electric fields. They are produced by the vibration of the charged particles.

Because of these differences, the speed of each type of wave varies significantly. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light but mechanical waves are far slower.

A hockey pick sliding along a frictional surface strikes a box at rest, after the collision the two objects stick together and m
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.
