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

A 5kg wheel rolls off a flat roof of a 50 m tall building at 12m/s.
Olegator [25]

Explanation:

a) Given in the y direction (taking down to be positive):

Δy = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 3.2 s

b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 12 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 3.2 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (12 m/s) (3.2 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.2 s)²

Δx = 38 m

A net force of 16 N causes a mass to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s^2. Determine the mass.
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Explanation:

We have net force on the object F = 16 N

Acceleration of the object a=5m/sec^2

We have top find the mass of the object

From newton law of motion we know that force is given by

F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So 16=5\times m

m=3.2kg

So mass of the object will be 3.2 kg

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo
Helga [31]

Answer:3.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

\mu_s =0.330

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force F_s

F_s=ma_{min}

\mu_sN=ma_{min}

\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}

a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2

Which is a characteristics of a physical change?
vazorg [7]
Physical Change characteristic is the chemical bonds in the substance are unchanged. Because a physical change is any change happens in an object but without involving a change in its chemical substance. Example, Solid to liquid change or also known as melting, liquid to gas change also known as evaporation, gas to solid change also known as deposition, liquid to solid or solidification, solid to gas or sublimation, and gas to liquid or condensation. The physical form of a substance is change into a new form but the chemical is unchanged.
