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.

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E
vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.

While Robert was helping his father in the garden, he pushed a shovel into the ground to dig a hole in the dirt. He picked up a
makvit [3.9K]

Work done is given by the change in kinetic energy of an object

  • The kinetic energy of the shovel, the shrub, and in Robert's movement were changed, therefore, work is done in the given processes,

Reason:

Work is done when the total energy of object is affected by the application of force on the object over a distance

Therefore;

  • In option <em>A</em>, pushing the shovel into ground (to dig out the dirt) the requires the application of a force (push) over a distance, (into and out of the ground) therefore work is done
  • In option <em>B</em>, picking the shrub up gives it gravitational potential energy, therefore, work is done
  • In option <em>C</em>, carrying the shrub to the hole does visible work
  • In option <em>D</em>, holding the shrub while lowering it into the hole does work by preventing the shrub from falling randomly

Therefore, <u>work is done in the given processes</u>

A kid throws a ball from a tower 45 meters tall how fast is the ball going when it hits the ground?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

29.69 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 45 m

Velocity (v) =...?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity with which the ball hits the ground. This is illustrated below:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Final velocity (v) =.?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3.03)

v = 0 + 29.694

v = 29.694 ≈ 29.69 m/s

Therefore, the ball hits the ground with a velocity of 29.69 m/s.
