Why is it so important to know how the parts of a can opener work

Dafna1 [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Hi there!

There are many possible answers!

My best guesses are:

1) Knowing how they work will prevent injury! For example, knowing that the gears twist will stop you from putting your finger in it!

2) Allowing you to use it! Knowing how to line up the edge of the can with the tool will let you use it properly!

Hope this helps

In a Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength 500 nm illuminates two slits which are separated by 1 mm. The separatio
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b. 0.25cm

Explanation:

You can solve this question by using the formula for the position of the fringes:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

m: order of the fringes

lambda: wavelength 500nm

D: distance to the screen 5 m

d: separation of the slits 1mm=1*10^{-3}m

With the formula you can calculate the separation of two adjacent slits:

\Delta y=\frac{(m+1)(\lambda D)}{d}-\frac{m\lambda D }{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\\\\\Delta y=\frac{(500*10^{-9}nm)(5m)}{1*10^{-3}m}=2.5*10^{-3}m=0.25cm

hence, the aswer is 0.25cm

A steel wire of length 31.0 m and a copper wire of length 17.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stre
Brut [27]

Answer:

The time taken is  t =  0.356 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of steel the wire is  l_1  = 31.0 \ m

   The  length of the  copper wire is  l_2  = 17.0 \ m

    The  diameter of the wire is  d =  1.00 \ m  =  1.0 *10^{-3} \ m

     The  tension is  T  =  122 \ N

     

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

              t  =  t_s  +  t_c

Where  t_s is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

         t_s  = l_1 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_s is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  8920 \ kg/m^3

   So

      t_s  = 31 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_s  = 0.235 \ s

 And

        t_c is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

      t_c  = l_2 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_c is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  7860 \ kg/m^3

 So

      t_c  = 17 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_c  =0.121

So  

   t  = t_c  + t_s

    t =  0.121 + 0.235

    t =  0.356 \ s

An object accelerates 13.0 m/s2 when a force of 4.4 newtons is applied to it. What is the
velikii [3]

Answer:

0.3384 N

Explanation:

Acceleration = 13 m/s^2

Force = 4.4 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 4.4 / 13

mass = 0.3384 N

A girl on a bike is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.45 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is 60.0
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the girl is

u = 1.4m/s

Height she is going is

H = 2.45m

Incline plane she will pass to that height

L = 12.4m

Mass of girl and bicycle is

M=60kg

Frictional force that oppose motion is

Fr = 41N

Speed at lower end of inclined plane

V2 = 6.7m/s

Work done by the girl when the car travel downward

Using conservation of energy

K.E(top) + P.E(top) + work = K.E(bottom) + P.E(bottom) + Wfr

Where Wfr is work done by friction

Wfr = Fr × d

P.E(bottom) is zero, sicne the height is zero at the ground

K.E is given as ½mv²

Then,

½M•u² + MgH + W = ½M•V2² + 0 + Fr×d

½ × 60 × 1.4² + 60×9.8 × 2.45 + W = ½ × 60 × 6.7² + 41 × 12.4

58.8 + 1440.5 + W = 1855.1

W = 1885.1 —58.8 —1440.5

W = 355.8 J

A wire with a resistance of 20 Ω (Ohm's) is connected to a 12-V battery. What is the current flowing through the wire? (Blank) A
pishuonlain [190]
<span>For this particular problem, we use Ohm's Law. This law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Using the equation, we can isolate I or the current to one side and the other terms to the other side. We calculate as follows:

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 V / 20 </span><span>Ω
I = 0.6 amperes

Therefore, the current that is flowing through the wire supplied with 12 V and having a resistance of 20 
</span><span>Ω would be 0.6 amperes.</span>
