A circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the circuit it is to protect.
Explanation:
Let us understand why do we need circuit breakers.
Circuit breaker is a protective device which will break the circuit in case of emergency like the appliance gets short or the wiring may get shorted in between. Also it is provided to cut-off electricity to a specific part of wiring in a house/building etc. for non-emergency situations, say for the purpose of maintenance.
Invariably it is placed in series with the live wire at the switch board or circuit breaker box, so that as soon as circuit breaker trips/switched off, no electrical wiring in the circuit it is protecting should remain live.
The mains circuit breaker is placed in series with the wiring of the dwelling unit and the Electricity incoming point of the Electric Supply Company.
The remaining circuit breakers are connected in parallel to each other to various distribution points/rooms. If connected in series, it will be impossible to isolate a section/part of circuit.
However, each circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the part circuit it is to protect.

(1 pt) A bucket of water of mass 20 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 35 meters above the ground. This takes 14
Elenna [48]

Answer:

w = 5832.372 Joules

Explanation:

Mass of water, m = 20 kg

The water was pulled up to a height of 35 meters, i.e. h = 35 m

It takes 14 minutes to pull up the water through the height, 35 m

speed = distance/ time = 35/14 = 2.5 m/min

The bucket's height, y = speed * time = 2.5t meters

6 kg of water drips out of the bucket throughout the 14 minutes

The rate at which the water drips drips out = (6/14) = 0.4286 kg/min

Mass of water that drips out in time, t = 0.4286t kg

The mass of water remaining = (20 - 0.4286t) kg

Change in Workdone, Δw = mgΔy

Δy = 2.5 Δt

Δw = mg *  2.5 Δt

dw =  (20 - 0.4286t)g2.5 dt

integrating both sides

dw = (50g - 1.07gt)dt

w = \int\limits^a_b {(50g-1.07gt)} \, dx where b = 0, a = 14

w = 50gt - 1.07g(t²)/2      g = 9.8 m/s²

w = 490t - 5.243t²

w = (490*14 - 5.243*14²) - (490*0 - 5.243*0²)

w = 6860 - 1027.628

w = 5832.372 Joules

A fast-food restaurant uses a conveyor belt to send the burgers through a grilling machine. if the grilling machine is 1.2 m lon
Vinil7 [7]

length of the grilling machine is 1.2 m

time taken to cook the burger is 2.7 min = 162 s

so the speed of the machine should be like this that if must have to cook till it cross the machine

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{1.2}{162}

v = 7.41* 10^{-3} m/s

now in one minute the total length of the machine that is covered is given by

L = v*t

L = 7.41*10^{-3}* 60 = 44.4 cm

now distance between the burgers is 15 cm

so total production rate will be

N = \frac{44.4}{15} = 3 burger/min

so it will produce 3 burger per minute

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x 10^{-3} m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x 10^{-3})

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

If a blender is plugged into a 168 V outlet that supplies 80.8 A of current, what amount of
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Power = 13.5744 kilowatts

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done. ... Great power means a large amount of work or energy developed in a short time. For example, when a powerful car accelerates rapidly, it does a large amount of work and consumes a large amount of fuel in a short time.

Formula for power = work/time

= IVT/T

= IV

Where I is the current

And V is the voltage

The voltage V supply = 168 v

The current A supply = 80.8 A

Power = 80.8*168

Power = 13574.4 watts

Power = 13.5744 kilowatts
