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.

Martha must carry a 45 N package up three flights of stairs. Each flight of stairs has a height of 2.3m, and the actual distance
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

310.5 J

Explanation:

The total work done by Martha is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the package, which is equal to

\Delta U = mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 45 N is the weight of the package

\Delta h is the increase in height of the package

The package is carried up 3 flights of stairs, each one with a height of 2.3 m, so the total increase in heigth is

\Delta h = 3 \cdot 2.3 m=6.9 m

And so, the work done by Martha is

U=(45 N)(6.9 m)=310.5 J

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below
siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Why do we see sedimentary rocks more often than igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet ​

Explanation:

We see sedimentary rocks more than other rock types because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet.

Sedimentary rocks typically form the earth cover due to the way they are formed.

  • These rocks are produced by the weathering, transportation and deposition of sediments within a basin.
  • In this basin, the sediment is lithified and converted to sedimentary rocks.
  • These processes are driven by the external heat engine
  • Therefore, it is confined to the surface.
  • Igneous and metamorphic rock's processes are confined to the subsurface.
