When measuring an unknown voltage with an analog VOM, you should first

If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit. 

Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it.  If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face.  You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'.  Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket.  That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter. 

Been there.
Done that.

A 300W hot plate produces 45,000 J of thermal energy while operating for 2 min. What is the efficiency of this devide? it need t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: P = 300 W   and t = 2 min = 120 s

Energy Q = Pt = 300 W · 120 s = 36 000 J.

Thus, plate can not produce 45 000 J heat.

Two sticky spheres are suspended from light ropes of length LL that are attached to the ceiling at a common point. Sphere AA has
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  h’ = 1/9 h

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts:

* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lower, just before the crash

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_{b}^2

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         m g h = ½ m v²

         v_b = \sqrt{2gh}

* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before the crash

         p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b

final instant. Right after the crash

         p_f = (2m + m) v

       

the moment is preserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v_b = 3m v

         v = v_b / 3

         

          v = ⅓ \sqrt{2gh}

* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together

Starting point. Lower

          Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²

Final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = (3m) g h'

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ 3m v² = 3m g h’

           

we substitute

         h’=  \frac{v^2}{2g}

         h’ =  \frac{1}{3^2} \  \frac{ 2gh}{2g}

         h’ = 1/9 h

What determines how the plates interact at their boundaries
swat32

Answer:

Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

Explanation:

Meaning the answer to your question is depending on what type of tectonic plate interaction is occurring will depend on how the plates interact.
