Two identical appliances are connected to the same household circuit and the circuit breaker trips. Which of the following is tr

ue (there may be more than one correct answer) (2 points): (A) If the breaker is reset and only one appliance is connected, the breaker will not trip. (B) Connecting only one appliance on this circuit might not trip the breaker again. (C) Each appliance had too low a resistance to work with a normal 120-V circuit breaker. (D) The appliances together had a total resistance that was too low to work with a normal 120-V circuit breaker.

Answer:

Explanation:

Circuit breaker trips due to excess current . Appliances are connected in parallel in which resistance becomes less . If only one appliance is connected then the current becomes low because of high resistance due to only one appliance . So breaker may not trip or may trip because resistance of  even single appliance may be quite low so current may still be high.

So B ) is  correct .

So C ) is also correct.

So D ) is also correct.

The intensity of a 70-dB whistle is quintupled. What is the new decibel level
hoa [83]

Multiplying the power of any signal by 5 can be described as
an increase of  6.99 dB .

If the whistle blew at 70 dB initially, and its sound power became
multiplied by 5, and the whistle and the listener both stayed in
the same places, then the listener would tell you that the whistle
was now blowing at 76.99 dB .

(More likely, he would report "77 dB" as he held his ears and winced.)

Determine the angular velocity of the merry-go-round if a jumps off horizontally in the −n direction with a speed of 2 m/s , mea
lapo4ka [179]

by angular momentum conservation we will have

angular momentum of child + angular momentum of merry go round = 0

angular momentum of child = mvR

m = mass of child

R = radius of child

v = speed = 2 m/s

now let's say moment of inertia of merry go round is I

so we will have

m*2*R + Iw = 0

w = -\frac{2mR}{I}

so merry go round will turn in opposite direction with above speed

A train leaves the train station at noon and travels at a constant speed of vt = 50 mi/hr on a straight track. 2 hr later, a car
asambeis [7]

Answer:

350 miles

Explanation:

When the car starts 2 hours later, the train would have a head start of

50 * 2 = 100 miles

The speed of the car relative to the train is

70 - 50 = 20 mi/hr

For the car to catch up with the train, it must cover the 100 miles difference at the rate of 20mi/hr. So the time it would need to cover this difference is

100 / 20 = 5 hours

After 5 hours, the car would have traveled a distance of

5 * 70 = 350 miles which is also the distance from the station to where the car catches up

solniwko [45]

Answer:

B. Geosphere

A. Biosphere

A. Atmosphere

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions occurs within the Geosphere. The geosphere is the rock solid earth make up of rocks that extends into the deep interior.

Magma formed deep within the crust rises to elevated parts and finally erupts as lava on the surface. When they cool, they solidify to form volcanic rocks.

The volcanic eruptions affects the biosphere significantly. The biosphere is the portion of the earth where all life forms exists.

Gases and ash spewed during an eruption into the atmosphere causes severe changes to weather and leads to pollution. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

Whiat is quantum numbers describes the size and energy of an orbital?
Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.
