In a house, a circuit often includes multiple electrical outlets which are parallelconnected to a single voltage source. Each of

these circuits also contains a 15-A circuit breaker. Design a parallel-connected circuit which shows three electrical outlets connected to a voltage source with a circuit breaker. What is the advantage of having outlets parallel-connected, and why is a circuit breaker connected in series with the voltage source

Answer:

In parallel circuits, if one element has a problem, it can be eliminated and the rest of the elements continue to work.

Explanation:

There are two ways to connect electrical circuits, in series and in parallel.

Series circuits have the problem that when one element is damaged, the entire circuit is interrupted and runs out of power.

In parallel circuits, if one element has a problem, it can be eliminated and the rest of the elements continue to work.

In Breaker it is connected in series so that when some maintenance is needed, all the energy can be interrupted simultaneously and if some equipment tries to consume a lot of energy, the circuit prevents this action by interrupting the energy of the entire circuit

Which is NOT considered as a property of electromagnetic waves: 5
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

require a medium to propagate

Explanation:

this is because electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum at the speed of 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

because they don't need particles to transfer energy

hope this helps

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.3 km away from the ac
brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we must basically resort to the kinematic equations of movement. For which speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time. Mathematically this can be expressed as

v = \frac{d}{t}

Where

d = Distance

t = time

For which clearing the time we will have the expression

t = \frac{d}{v}

Since we have two 'fluids' in which the sound travels at different speeds we will have that for the rock the time elapsed to feel the explosion will be:

t = \frac{1300m}{3000m/s}

t = 0.433s

In the case of the atmosphere -composite of air- the average speed of sound is 343m / s, therefore it will take

t = \frac{1300m}{343m/s}

t = 3.79s

The total difference between the two times would be

\Delta t = 3.79s-0.433s

\Delta t = 3.357s

Therefore 3.357s will pass between when they feel the explosion and when they hear it

A diatomic ideal gas initially at pressure 3 atm and volume 2 L expands adiabatically to a volume of 8 L. How much work is done
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

option d is correct

work done is 647 J

Explanation:

Given data

pressure P = 3 atm

volume V1 = 2 L

volume V2  = 8 L

to find out

work is done by the gas

solution

we know that work done formula that is

work done = k ( V_{f}^{n}  - V_{i}^{n} ) / n

here n = 1 - γ

and k = PV^γ  

and we know for diatomic gas γ = 1.4

so k will be = ( 3× 101325 ) × (0.002)^{1.4}

k = 50.62

so that now

work done = k ( V_{f}^{n}  - V_{i}^{n} ) / n

work done = 50.62 ( (0.008)^{1-1.4}  - (0.002)^{1-1.4} ) / 1-1.4

so work done will be 647 J

so option d is correct

work done is 647 J
