Get a pull chord light switch installed in her bathroom by a qualified electrician asap. Meanwhile, keep hands as dry as possible, and try not to go near that switch until it's either been properly earthed, or whatever the problem actually is, and get qualified advice on what the problem is. Don't have wet feet either, and don't stand in puddles of water whilst operating - i she has to - the switch. 250V AC mains can be lethal, and at least painful.

Explanation :

Prevention that must follow by Alice are as follows :

(1) The first way to solve any electrical problems is to turn off the main source of electricity in your home.

(2) The electric devices must be kept away from water and from any moisture.

(3) She should install GFCI i.e. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in her home. GFCI detects the leakage of current in the circuit.

(4)  When electric equipment fuses again and again. it is no longer only an accident - those are signs and symptoms that something is not going the right way.

These are some prevention that Alice must take in case of electric shock.

How quickly do muscles become fatigued?​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Fatigue is usually defined as the reversible decline of performance during activity, and most recovery occurs within the first hour. However, there is also a slowly reversible component that can take several days to reverse (155). Muscle injury also causes a decline in performance that reverses only very slowly.

A 73.9 kg weight-watcher wishes to climb a
Tresset [83]

The height to which the weight-watcher must climb to work off the equivalent 991 (food) Calories is 0.59 Km

<h3>How to determine the energy. </h3>

1 food calorie = 103 calories

Therefore,

991 food calories = 991 × 103

991 food calories = 102073 calories

Multiply by 4.2 to express in joule (J)

991 food calories = 102073 × 4.2

991 food calories = 428706.6 J

<h3>How to determine the height </h3>
  • Energy (E) = 428706.6 J
  • Mass (m) = 73.9 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) =?

E = mgh

Divide both side by mg

h = E / mg

h = 428706.6 / (73.9 × 9.8)

h = 591.95 m

Divide by 1000 to express in km

h = 591.95 / 1000

h = 0.59 Km

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0
Vlada [557]
Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2
