On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the

fire with a jacket as you approach with an A-B-C extinguisher from your ambulance. Which of the following is the best method of extinguishing the fire?
a. Sweep the nozzle of the extinguisher left and right using short bursts until you are out of extinguishing agent.
b. Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.
c. Close the hood to contain the fire within the engine compartment.
d. Aim the nozzle to the side of the fire and, with a sweeping motion, push the fire at its base

Answer:

<em>Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.

A flat disk of radius 0.50 m is oriented so that the plane of the disk makes an angle of 30 degrees with a uniform electric fiel
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The electric flux is 280\ \rm N.m^2/C

Explanation:

Given:

  • Radius of the disc R=0.50 m
  • Angle made by disk with the horizontal \theta=30^\circ
  • Magnitude of the electric Field E=713.0\ \rm N/C

The flux of the Electric Field E due to the are dA in space can be found out by using Gauss Law which is as follows

\phi=\int E.dA

where

  • \phi is the total Electric Flux
  • E is the Electric Field
  • dA is the Area through which the electric flux is to be calculated.

Now according to question we have

=EA\cos\theta \\=713\times 3.14\times 0.5^2 \times \cos60^\circ\\=280\ \rm N.m^2/C

Hence the electric flux is calculated.

Energy is transferred by the process of convection from the hot water at the bottom of the tank to the cooler water at the top.
iragen [17]
The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.

what is the force constant, in newtons per meter, needed to produce a period of 0.45 s for a 0.011-kg mass on the spring?
topjm [15]

The force constant is 2.145 N/m.

<h3>What is spring constant?</h3>
  • The spring constant is the force required to stretch or compress a spring divided by the distance traveled by the spring. It is used to determine whether a spring is stable or unstable.
  • K is the proportionality constant, also known as the 'spring constant.' Hooke's law (F = -kx) specifies stiffness and strength via the k variable. The greater the value of k, the greater the force required to stretch an object to a given length.

Using the relation;

T = 2π√m/k

T = time period = 0.45 s

m =  mass of object in kilograms = 0.011kg

k = spring constant

To find k based on the formula,

k = 4 × (3.142)^2 × 0.011 / (0.45 )^2

k = 2.145 N/m

Therefore the force constant is 2.145 N/m.
