You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. However, you can handle the extension co

rd without worry of being shocked by the electrical charge. Which statement best explains why you can do this?
(A) The cord is made of a combination of materials which are both good conductors of electricity. The combination of two conductors directs the flow of electricity away from you and down the cord.
(B) The extension cord is made of plastic which only conducts electricity for a certain period of time. If you handle the cord, the electricity passes through it so fast that you are not in danger of being shocked.
(C) The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
(D) The cord has a plastic cover which is a good conductor of electricity so it carries the electrical current away from your hand which is an insulator

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.

A power station with an efficiency e generates W watts of electric power and dissipates D J of heat energy each second to the co
Andrews [41]

Answer: 13.94 tons/s

Explanation:

On adding heat energy to a substance, the temperature would be changed by a particular amount. This relationship between heat energy and temperature is often different for each material. The specific heat, is a value that describes how they relate.

Heat energy = mass flow rate * specific heat * Δ T

Q = MC (ΔΦ)

Heat energy, Q= 3.5*10^8J

Mass flow rate, M= ?

Specific heat, C= 4184j/KgC

Change in temperature, ΔΦ= 6°C

M = Q/CΔΦ

M = (3.5*10^8)/4184*6

M = 13942kg/s

M = 13.94 tons/s

love history [14]

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt
