A fan connected to a 120-volt electrical system by an extension cord was worn through and exposed the bare, energized conductor,

which made contact with the ladder. The ground wire was not attached to the male end of the cord's plug. When the energized conductor made contact with the ladder, the path to ground included the worker's body, resulting in death. What contributed to the electrocution?

Answer: the ladder

Explanation: since the energized conductor is already in contact with the ladder there by making electric current to flow. The base of the ladder is on the ground there by making the circuit to be complete and causing electrocution.

Answer:

The worker completed the circuit.

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Electricity is the flow of electrons in a circuit. There is one condition for the electrons to flow - the completion of a circuit. In order for that to be established, there must be a side with low electron concentration or affinity for electrons.

The earth has an infinite affinity for electrons. Thus, earth wires are used to channel an excess amount of electrons there. This prevents the short circuiting injuring a person. Hence, a three-pin plug.

Because there was not insulation, like rubber, an alternative pathway could not be found for electrons. Hence the worker was electrocuted as the electric current passed through him.

Equal force is applied to a baseball, a basketball, a tennis ball, and a bowling ball. Which ball will have the GREATEST acceler
mr_godi [17]

according to newton's second law , net force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration. the formula is given as

F = ma

where F = force , m = mass  , a  = acceleration

rearranging the equation for acceleration "a" , we get

a = F/m

when force F is kept constant , the acceleration is inversely related to the mass "m".  in other words, greater the mass , smaller will be the acceleration and smaller the mass, greater will be the acceleration.

the masses of baseball, basketball,  tennis ball and bowling ball can in arranged in increasing order as

tennis ball < baseball < basketball < bowling ball.

since acceleration and mass have inverse relation from the formula , the order of the acceleration will also be reverse.

tennis ball > baseball > basketball > bowling ball.

hence the tennis ball will have the greatest acceleration as it has the smallest mass.

During the middle of a family picnic, Barry Allen received a message that his friends Bruce and Hal
weeeeeb [17]

The kinematics of the uniform motion and the addition of vectors allow finding the results are:

  • The  Barry's initial trajectory is 94.30 10³ m with n angles of θ = 138.8º
  • The return trajectory and speed are v = 785.9 m / s, with an angle of 41.2º to the South of the East

Vectors are quantities that have modulus and direction, so they must be added using vector algebra.

A simple method to perform this addition in the algebraic method which has several parts:

  • Vectors are decomposed into a coordinate system
  • The components are added
  • The resulting vector is constructed

 Indicate that Barry's velocity is constant, let's find using the uniform motion thatthe distance traveled in ad case

              v = \frac{\Delta d}{t}

              Δd = v t

Where  v is the average velocity, Δd the displacement and t the time

We look for the first distance traveled at speed v₁ = 600 m / s for a time

          t₁ = 2 min = 120 s

          Δd₁ = v₁ t₁

          Δd₁ = 600 120

          Δd₁ = 72 10³ m

Now we look for the second distance traveled for the velocity v₂ = 400 m/s    

  time t₂ = 1 min = 60 s

          Δd₂ = v₂ t₂

          Δd₂ = 400 60

          Δd₂ = 24 103 m

   

In the attached we can see a diagram of the different Barry trajectories and the coordinate system for the decomposition,

We must be careful all the angles must be measured counterclockwise from the positive side of the axis ax (East)

Let's use trigonometry for each distance

Route 1

          cos (180 -35) = \frac{x_1}{\Delta d_1}

          sin 145 = \frac{y_1}{\Delta d1}

          x₁ = Δd₁ cos 125

          y₁ = Δd₁ sin 125

          x₁ = 72 103 are 145 = -58.98 103 m

          y₁ = 72 103 sin 155 = 41.30 10³ m

Route 2

          cos (90+ 30) = \frac{x_2}{\Delta d_2}

          sin (120) = \frac{y_2}{\Delta d_2}

          x₂ = Δd₂ cos 120

          y₂ = Δd₂ sin 120

          x₂ = 24 103 cos 120 = -12 10³ m

           y₂ = 24 103 sin 120 = 20,78 10³ m

             

The component of the resultant vector are

              Rₓ = x₁ + x₂

              R_y = y₁ + y₂

              Rx = - (58.98 + 12) 10³ = -70.98 10³ m

              Ry = (41.30 + 20.78) 10³ m = 62.08 10³ m

We construct the resulting vector

Let's use the Pythagoras' Theorem for the module

             R = \sqrt{R_x^2 +R_y^2}

             R = \sqrt{70.98^2 + 62.08^2}   10³

             R = 94.30 10³ m

We use trigonometry for the angle

             tan θ ’= \frac{R_y}{R_x}

             θ '= tan⁻¹ \frac{R_y}{R_x}

             θ '= tan⁻¹ \frac{62.08}{70.98}

             θ ’= 41.2º

Since the offset in the x axis is negative and the displacement in the y axis is positive, this vector is in the second quadrant, to be written with respect to the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction

            θ = 180 - θ'

            θ = 180 -41.2

            θ = 138.8º

Finally, let's calculate the speed for the way back, since the total of the trajectory must be 5 min and on the outward trip I spend 3 min, for the return there is a time of t₃ = 2 min = 120 s.

The average speed of the trip should be

             v = \frac{\Delta R}{t_3}  

             v = \frac{94.30}{120}  \ 10^3

              v = 785.9 m / s

in the opposite direction, that is, the angle must be

               41.2º to the South of the East

In conclusion, using the kinematics of the uniform motion and the addition of vectors, results are:

  • To find the initial Barry trajectory is 94.30 10³ m with n angles of  138.8º
  • The return trajectory and speed is v = 785.9 m / s, with an angle of 41.2º to the South of the East
