Answer:
D. If a home were wired in series, every light and appliance would have to be turned on in order for any light or appliance to work.
Explanation:
In a series circuit, all the appliances are connected on the same branch of the circuit, one after the other. This means that the current flowing throught them is the same. However, this means also that if one of the appliance is turned off (so, its switch is open), that appliance breaks the circuit, so the current can no longer flow through the other appliances either.
On the contrary, when the appliances are connected in parallel, they are connected in different branches, so if one of them is switched off, the other branches continue working unaffacted by it.
<u>Answer</u>
3.7 Km south
<u>Explanation</u>
The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.
Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).
Now lets add the two values.
(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4
= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.
∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.
Answer:
The astronaut's mass is 16 kg.
Explanation:
Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.
Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).
Therefore, if an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, his mass on the moon and on the space station would remain the same, as his original mass of 16 Kg because mass is indestructible.
