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.

An astronaut sitting on the launch pad on Earth's surface is 6,400 kilometers from Earth's center and weighs 400 newtons. Calcul

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s$

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2 we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 0.342 m

frequency 2 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz
