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 plane flies from base camp to lake a, 200 km away in the direction 20.0° north of east. after dropping off supplies it flies t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Distance of lake a is 200 km at 20 degree north of east

distance between lake a and b is 230 km at 30 degree west of north

now the distance between base and lake b is given as

d = d_1 + d_2

given that

d_1 = 200 cos20 i + 200 sin20 j

d_1 = 187.94 i + 68.4 j

d_2 = -230 sin30 i + 230 cos30 j

d_2 = -115 i + 199.2 j

now the total distance is

d = (187.94 - 115)i + (199.2 + 68.4)j

d = 72.94 i + 267.6 j

now the magnitude of the distance is given as

d = \sqrt{72.94^2 + 267.6^2}

d = 277.4

also the direction is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{267.6}{72.94}

\theta = 74.7 degree

<em>so it is 277.4 km at 74.7 degree North of East</em>

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference
Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

q=CV

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

C'=kC

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

q=C'V'

So we can combine the two equations:

CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V

A 25 kg bear slides, from rest, 12 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.6 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

         = 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = 0.5mv^{2}

           = 0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}  = 392 J

(C) average frictional force = \frac{change in thermal energy}{height} = \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}

  • change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
  • ΔKE = 0.5mv^{2} - 0.5mvf^{2}            
  • when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes  ΔKE = 0.5x25x5.6^{2} - 0 = 392 J

 \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}[/tex] = \frac{-(392 + (-2940))}{12}

=  \frac{(-392 + 2940)}{12} = 212.33 N
