The purpose of fuses and circuit breakers is to

Physics
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
5 0

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

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation:  Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F  =  m*a

∑ Fx  =  m* a(x)             ∑ Fy  =  m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

  μ  = 0.2 = F(r)/N            siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg  =  20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P =  196 [N]    en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py  =  P* cos30  =  196* √3/2  =  98*√3

Px  = P* sen30   =  196*1/2  =  98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y)  =  m*a         Py  - N  = 0          98*√3  = N       ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x)  = m*a    P(x)  -  Fr  =  m*a

Fr  =   μ *N  =  0.2* 98*√3

Fr  =  19.6*√3  [N]

98 -  19.6*√3  =  m*a

98  -  33.52  = m*a

a =  (98  -  33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v²  =  v₀²  +  2*a*d             ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación  v  y  v₀    vienen dados en m/seg  entonces  v²  y  v₀²  vienen en m²/seg²,  el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg²  entonces es consistente la relación

v²   =  0   +  2*3.22*80       ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v²  = 515.2  m²/seg²

v  =  √515.2  m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg

If we connect a third bulb in our series circuit, say one with 4
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The current will decrease.

Explanation:

When another bulb is added, the resistance is going to increase. Keep in mind that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance (<em>Ohm's law: R= </em><em>V</em><em>/</em><em>I</em><em> </em><em>).</em> Therefore when the resistance increase, the current running in the circuit will decrease.
