Cora, an electrician, wraps a copper wire with a thick plastic coating. What is she most likely trying to do?

2 answers:

7 0

The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Cora wrapping the copper wire with a thick plastic coating keeps a current from passing out a wire. The plastic wire here serves as an insulator. An insulator is a material that prevents electricity or current to flow out the circuit. In order to lessen the loss of energy.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Consider a block on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the block travels a distance din

sweet [91]

Answer:

The distance is now 4d

Explanation:

Mechanical Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F}{m}$

Once we know the acceleration, we can calculate the distance traveled by the block as follows:

$\displaystyle d = vo.t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

If the block starts from rest, vo=0:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{at^2}{2}$

Substituting the value of the acceleration:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{\frac{F}{m}t^2}{2}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle d = \frac{Ft^2}{2m}$

When a force F'=4F is applied and assuming the mass is the same, the new acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a'=\frac{4F}{m}$

And the distance is now:

$\displaystyle d' = \frac{4Ft^2}{2m}$

Dividing d'/d:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=\frac{\frac{4Ft^2}{2m}}{\frac{Ft^2}{2m}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{d' }{d}=4$

Thus:

d' = 4d

The distance is now 4d

Can someone help me plzzz.. whoever answers the best will be marked as brainliest.....

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1) 3 applications of pressure in daily life are :-

● The area of sharp edge of knife, scissor or handsaws are much less then blunt edge. So, for same total force pressure is more for sharp edges than the blunt one. Hence sharp knife, scissors etc, cuts easily than a blunt one.

●Broad handles in bags and suitcases are provided for the comfort. Broad handles have large area. So, the pressure exerted on hands and shoulders would be small while carrying the bags and the suitcases.

●Trucks carrying heavy loads have more than four tyres. More tyres in case of trucks increase the area of contact with the road. This results in reduced pressure on the tyres.

2) Area of the surface which is on ground = 1.5×1

= 1.5m^2

Mass of the block = 300kg

Force applied by the block = Mass × g = 300×10

= 3000N (where g = acceleration due to gravity )

Pressure = Force applied / Area of the surface

= 3000N / 1.5m^2

= 2000 Pa

a) The above experiment signifies that more the area of the surface of an object , less the pressure an object applies.

b) B exerts the minimum pressure because the area of its surface to ground is greater than others & as it has more area of surface , it exerts less pressure. ( area is inversely proportional to pressure )

c) D exerts the maximum pressure because the area of its surface to ground is lesser than others & as it has less area of surface , it exerts more pressure. ( area is inversely proportional to pressure )

d) It depend upon the way an object is kept on ground. If an object is kept in such a way dat the area of the surface to the ground is more , then pressure will be least exerted .If an object is kept in such a way dat the area of the surface to the ground is less, then pressure will be exerted more .

e) Do it yourself . only i will suggest that make the tip of the cone ( which is to the ground ) more narrower.
