Answer:

Explanation:

Fuses and circuit breakers helps to:

protect equipment by stopping the flow of electric current; protect your house from fire

GFCI helps prevent electric shocks in a house:

GFCI outlets prevent electrocution if you are touching a wet appliance

Three 3ohms resistors in series would give you give a combined resistance of:

Resistance = (3+3+3)ohms = 9ohms

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 68.7 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) $F = 78.606\,N$ , b) $F = 88.911\,N$

Explanation:

a) Let consider two equations of equilibrium, the first parallel to ski slope and the second perpendicular to that. The equations are, respectively:

$\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = 0\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0$

The force on the skier is:

$F = m \cdot g \cdot \sin \theta$

$F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree}$

$F = 78.606\,N$

b) The equations of equilibrium are the following:

$\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot a\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0$

The force on the skier is:

$F = m\cdot (a + g \cdot \sin \theta)$

$F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree})$

$F = 88.911\,N$

Answer:

<em>UP</em>

Explanation:

heat flows from higher level to lower level

( higher concentration to lower concentration )

and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .

( Up )

A rocket car on a horizontal rail has an initial mass of 2500 kg and an additional fuel mass of 1000 kg. At time t0 the rocket m

slamgirl [31]

Answer: Acceleration of the car at time = 10 sec is 108 $m/s^{2}$ and velocity of the car at time t = 10 sec is 918.34 m/s.

Explanation:

The expression used will be as follows.

$M\frac{dv}{dt} = u\frac{dM}{dt}$

$\int_{t_{o}}^{t_{f}} \frac{dv}{dt} dt = u\int_{t_{o}}^{t_{f}} \frac{1}{M} \frac{dM}{dt} dt$

= $u\int_{M_{o}}^{M_{f}} \frac{dM}{M}$

$v_{f} - v_{o} = u ln \frac{M_{f}}{M_{o}}$

$v_{o} = 0$

As, $v_{f} = u ln (\frac{M_{f}}{M_{o}})$

u = -2900 m/s

$M_{f} = M_{o} - m \times t_{f}$

= $2500 kg + 1000 kg - 95 kg \times t_{f}s$

= $(3500 - 95t_{f})s$

$v_{f} = -2900 ln(\frac{3500 - 95 t_{f}}{3500}) m/s$

Also, we know that

a = $\frac{dv_{f}}{dt_{f}} = \frac{u}{M} \frac{dM}{dt}$

= $\frac{u}{3500 - 95 t} \times (-95) m/s^{2}$

= $\frac{95 \times 2900}{3500 - 95t} m/s^{2}$

At t = 10 sec,

$v_{f}$ = 918.34 m/s

and, a = 108 $m/s^{2}$
