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

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?

pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

$P. E = m \times g \times h$

where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

$P. E = m \times g \times h$

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

$h = \frac {50} {4.9}$

h = 10.20 m

.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N

At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat

STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}$

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

$D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow$ diameter of the sphere then,

$a = 0.08m$

Thus z = a

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}$

$B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}$

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}$

Re-arrange to find I,

$I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}$

$I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}$

$I = 1.08*10^{-6}A$

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is $1.08*10^{-6}A$
