Why are circuit breakers and fuses important?

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A fuse and circuit breaker both serve to protect an overloaded electrical circuit by interrupting the continuity, or the flow of electricity. ... Fuses tend to be quicker to interrupt the flow of power, but must be replaced after they melt, while circuit breakers can usually simply be reset.

Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

b.  $96,914

Explanation:

360-day borrowing rate = 5%

spot rate = 0.48

360-day deposit rate  = 6%

Borrow at the rate of 5% to get

SF200,000/1.05 = $190,476.19

Convert at the spot rate of $0.48 to get

190,476.19*0.48 = $91,428.57

Invest at the interest rate of 6% to get

91,428.57/1.06 = 96,914.28

Therefore, Parker Company will receive $96,914 in 360 days.

Sauron [17]

The density of the nickel was greater than that of the quarter and penny, thus, the results supports the hypothesis.

<h3>What is density of substance?</h3>

The density of a substance is a measure of how tightly-packed the particles of the substance are.

Density is calculated as the ratio of the mass of the substance and the volume of the substance.

  • Density = mass/volume

The hypothesis of the lab to compare the densities of a penny, a nickel, and a quarter is:

  • If the nickel has a greater density than the quarter and penny, then it will have a greater mass to volume ratio. If the nickel has a lower density than the quarter and penny, then it will have a lower mass-to-volume ratio.

The average mass and the average volume of a penny, a nickel, and a quarter are then used to determine the density of each coin.

Based on obtained results, it would be found that the density of the nickel was greater than that of the quarter and penny. Therefore, the results supports the hypothesis.

In conclusion, the density of a substance depends on the mass and the volume.

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>
