GFCI outlets are found in wet areas is the true statement about a GFCI oulet

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation: </u>

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter and also named as RCD (Residual Current Device). This is a kind of circuit breaker that cuts off electricity after detecting an imbalance between output and input currents. The switch protects household lines and sockets against overheating and possible fire.

GFCI protects the people and is mostly used in bathrooms or kitchen where electrical equipment is used. Also, it is available where the human body can get into contact with the floor or metal fixings that provide an alternative route to power in the event of a fault. These outlets are available in two versions: the circuit breaker installed in the control panel and receptacle type installed into the electrical box.

How fast would the International Space Station (ISS) have to travel to maintain a circular orbit a distance of 1400 km above the

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.

Explanation:

Orbital speed of satellite is given by $v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ , where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance to satellite from centre of Earth.

r = R + h = 6350 + 1400 = 7750 km = 7.75 x 10⁶ m

G = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

Substituting

$v=\sqrt{\frac{6.673\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{7.75\times 10^6}}=7223.86m/s=7.22km/s$

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.
