Answer:

“I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord.”

Explanation:

A good method to find the customer at greater risk of receiving an electric shock is to discard the options.

If we analyze the fourth option "I always make sure that I am standing in a dry area before operating electrical equipment.", we will see that the customer minimizes the risk of electric conduction through a fluid. This precaution also minimizes the risk of electric shock.

The third option "I always read the owner’s manual when I purchase a new electrical appliance." It tells us that the customer knows how to properly use the electrical equipment that manipulates and knows the do and do not of such devices, so the risk of electric shock is reduced.

In the second option, "My bread got stuck in my toaster this morning, and I unplugged it before trying to remove it." The customer made sure to interrupt the electric flow to the device before proceeding and try to remove the jammed bread. If there is no electric current, there will be no electric shock to the customer.

The first option "I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord." It tells us that the client altered the cord extension in an inappropriate manner, since the equipment is not designed to work with two prongs. Because the design conditions are not being met, it is possible that the equipment malfunctions and this malfunction could result in the customer receiving an electric shock.

I hope the explanation was clear for you. If you have any further question, I'll be happy to assist you. :D

A cat chases a mouse across a 0.65 m high
lora16 [44]

Answer:

V = 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

Projectile motion is a two dimensional motion experienced by an object or particle that is subjected near the surface of the Earth and moves along a curved path under the influence of gravity only. The path followed by projectile motion is called projectile path.

As the cat followed the projectile path, and we know that in projectile motion the horizontal component of the velocity remains constant throughout its motion. So there is no acceleration along horizontal path.

Given data :

Height = y = 0.65 m

Horizontal distance = x = 2.7 m

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s²

Velocity when cat slid off the table = V = ?

As the cat slides off horizontally, So there is no vertical component of velocity or vertical component of velocity is zero.

Using 2nd equation of motion

y = 0.5 gt²

0.65 = 0.5*9.8*t²

t² = 0.1326

t = 0.36 s

Velocity when cat slid off the table = V = x / t

V = 2.7 / 0.36

V = 7.5 m/s

State five effect of heat matter​
snow_lady [41]
When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... When heat leaves all substances, the molecules vibrate slower.
