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.

Elden [556K]
<h2>Diagonal of circle </h2>

Explanation:

As the skateboarder wants to cross the play ground . The surface is rough .

As we know , the force of friction is non-conservative force . Thus work is required against this force .

We have formula:

work done = Force x distance (in one direction )

Te force applied cannot be changed , so he is to decrease the distance .

In case of circle , diameter is the minimum distance . Thus he is supposed to move along it .

Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they ___ chemically stable with 8 valence electrons
azamat

Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

Explanation :

Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.

The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.

They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.

Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110
Verizon [17]

The car's rate of  acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap
pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
