Both a fire blanket and the spray from a fire extinguisher put out a fire by pressing down on the fire and pushing any oxygen aw

ay. When there is no oxygen, the fire stops. Sometimes it is safe to pour water on a fire to put it out, but if a fire is ever caused by electrical energy, water will spread the fire.
With this in mind, what most likely explains why it is important to make sure hands are dry before working with any scientific electrical equipment?

Fires are started by water.
Germs should not be electrified.
Water can carry electricity.
Wet fire blankets will not work.

Answer:

Water can carry electricity

Explanation:

While pure water does not conduct electricity, ionized water does. It is common that water is ionized than is pure, unless it is purified. The dissolved ions in the water are what makes the water conduct electricity. Handling electric equipment with wet hands may lead to electrocution.

First consider a Carnot engine that operates between a hot reservoir at 58°C and a cold reservoir at -17°C. In running 24 minute
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Hot reservoir temperature is

TH = 58°C

TH = 58 + 273 = 331 K

Cold reservoir temperature

TC = -17°C

TC = -17°C + 273 = 256K

In 24minutes 590 J of heat was removed from hot reservoir

t = 24mins

t = 24 × 60 = 1440 seconds

Then,

Power is given as

P = E / t

P = 590 / 1440

P = 0.41 W

Since this removed from the hot reservoir, then, QH = 0.41W

We want to find heat expelled to the cold reservoir QX

Efficiency is given as

η = 1 - TH/TC = 1 - QH/QC

1 - TH/TC = 1 - QH/QC

TH/TC = QH/QC

Make QC subject of formula

QC = QH × TC / TH

QC = 0.41 × 256 / 331

QC = 0.317 W

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=m\times a

F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
