Answer:

Circuit breaker

Explanation:

Circuit breaker is the devise designed to protect the circuit from over current by opening the circuit automatically. Breaker can also be off manually by toggle switch. Earlier fuses were used but circuit breakers have replaced them. Fuse and circuit breakers operates differently. in case of overloading fuses blown off and opens the circuit while circuit breaker opens the circuit automatically without being blown off.

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Please help! the mass of an object is measured on a pan balance with a precision of 0.005 g and the recorded value of 128.01 g.
inysia [295]

Yes, these two objects have different masses.

<h3>How can we calculate that this statement is right ?</h3>

To calculate the precision of mass we are using the formula,

Precision(P) = \frac{m_1}{m_1+\triangle m}

Or,\trianglem=\frac{m_1}{P}-m₁

For the first case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 128.01 g

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005g

So, according to the formula, \trianglem will be,

\trianglem=  \frac{128.01}{0.005}-128.01

Or,\trianglem=25,473.99 g

Or,\trianglem=25.47 Kg

For the first case \trianglem is 25.47 Kg..

For the second case we are given,

m₁= The recorded value of mass

= 0.13 Kg

P= Precision of the mass

=0.005 Kg

So, according to the formula, \trianglem will be,

\trianglem= \frac{0.13}{0.005}-0.13

Or,\trianglem= 25.87 kg

For the second case \trianglem is 25.87 Kg.

For the two cases  \trianglem has different values, 25.47 Kg≠25.87 Kg.

Therefore we can conclude that, these two objects have different masses.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce
Novay_Z [31]
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.
