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.

Harman [31]

Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.

Hence the work by the body W = FS

If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -

                                       W=[ Fcos\theta]*S  where    Fcos\theta is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.

                                  Hence\ W= FScos\theta

                                                        = F.S

As per the question the power P is given as -

                                                  P=\frac{W}{\delta t}

                                                         =\frac{F.S}{\delta t}

                                                         = F.\frac{S}{\delta t}

                                                         = \ F.V

Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V

You drive a car east on the highway at 26 m/s. Another car passes you moving east traveling at 32 m/s. How fast do you view the
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the car passing you is 6 m/s while car is moving 6 m/s behind the car.

<h3>Relative velocity of the car</h3>

The speed of the car passing you is determined by applying relative velocity principle as shown below;

Vr = Va - Vb

Vr = 26 m/s - 32 m/s

Vr = -6 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car passing you is 6 m/s while car is moving 6 m/s behind the car.
