The answer to this question would be <span>Electrocautery Device

In a hospital, the device that can cause arc flash would be electrocautery device and circuit breaker. In fact, the electrocautery device uses the arc flash principle to work. The arc flash causing burns that surgeon use to clot bleeding in surgery or to destroy a tissue.</span>

Answer:

B. Defibrillator

Explanation:

The electric arc occurs when there is a dielectric break in which it produces an electrical discharge. The term electric arc is the most common, but it can also be called an arc flash or short circuit as it is popularly called. This phenomenon is so strong that it can break the insulation made by air by conducting electrons from one electrode to another through a current flow.

A defibrillator is a device designed to discharge electrical charges to the chest wall (if external) or to the heart muscle fibers (if internal) of a patient with cardiac arrhythmia. Because of its ability to provide an electrical discharge, we can conclude that the defibrillator is a source of an electric arc in the hospital environment.

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

a=v^2/r

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

Elliot jumps up and down on a pogo stick. He weighs 600.N, and his pogo stick has a spring with spring constant 1100N/m. What is
tia_tia [17]

From conservation of energy, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

The given weight of Elliot is 600 N

From conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of Elliot must have been converted to elastic potential energy. Then, the elastic potential energy from the spring was later converted to maximum potential energy P.E of Elliot.

P.E = mgh

where mg = Weight = 600

To find the height Elliot will reach, substitute all necessary parameters into the equation above.

250 = 600h

Make h the subject of the formula

h = 250/600

h = 0.4167 meters

Therefore, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

When looking at a food label, to be considered a good source of a nutrient, the nutrient must be? A.More than 20% of your daily
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A. More than 20% of your daily recommended amount.

Explanation:

Reading food labels can be tricky. The percent daily value listed on the right of all food labels lets you know what percent out of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient you are consuming in that specific food.

To check if the food you're consuming is a good source of that nutrient you need in higher amount, the nutrient must be labeled 20% or higher.

The rule used here is called the 5/20 rule. According to this rule, A nutrient that is 5% or below is considered less and a nutrient which is labeled 20% or higher is considered good enough in that food source.
