Answer: The copper wiring most likely caused the mini-refrigerator fire.

Explanation: A mini-refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motors. These motors have copper wiring. In some situation these copper wires gets overheated. It may result to the firing of the mini-refrigerator.

Therefore, the mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by copper wiring.

An egg is dropped from the top of the band hall. if the band hall is 25 m tall, determine the time it takes the egg to hit the f

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

2.26 s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 25 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =..?

The time taken for the egg to hit the floor can be obtained as illustrated below:

h = ½gt²

25 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

25 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 25 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(25 / 4.9)

t = 2.26 s

Thus, it will take 2.26 s for the egg to hit the floor.

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60-kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth r

KIM [24]

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the mass of the object is $m_1=0.60 kg$ , while the Earth's mass is $m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg$ . Their separation is $r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m$ , therefore the gravitational force exerted on the object is
$F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}=1.4 N$

Which has more inertia a shopping cart full or groceries or an empty shopping cart?

morpeh [17]

I think that the shopping cart full of groceries has more inertia because it is the one with more tendency to do nothing or be still.

How can you determine the amount of work done on an object? (joules, work, power...etc.)

Novay_Z [31]

Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)

An object travels in a circular path of radius 5.0 meters at a uniform speed of 10. m/s. What is the magnitude of the object's a

vladimir1956 [14]

I think F= mv²/r
And F=ma
So, ma = mv²/r
a = v²/r
a = 100/5
a = 20 m/s
