Mariana [72]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

A lightning rod (US, AUS) If lightning hits the structure:-

It will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire.

Instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution.

The parts of a lightning protection system are air terminals (lightning rods or strike) and all of the connectors and supports to complete the system.

How do we maintain heat in our body ?​
zysi [14]

Answer:

When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body's salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Once on the surface, the water evaporates. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.

Explanation:

The system can respond to internal and external influences and make adjustments to keep your body within a degree or two of your normal. The hypothalamus and your autonomic nervous system work with your skin, sweat glands, muscles and even your blood vessels to keep your temperature normal. As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. Some nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and dates are also beneficial in winter. These nuts speed up your metabolism and increase your body temperature, eventually making you feel hot.

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 6.55x10-2 kg/s. The density of the gasoline is 740
klasskru [66]

Answer:

speed = 3.95 m/s

Explanation:

area = π x radius^2

area = π x (2.67 x 10^-3)^2

volume flow rate = area x speed

volume / time = area x speed

density = mass / volume

volume = mass / density

<u>mass / (density x time) = area *speed</u>

mass flow rate = mass / time

<u>mass flow rate / density = area x speed</u>

6.55 x 10^-2 / 740 = pi * (2.67 x 10^-3)^2 * speed

speed =8.8514 x 10-5 /2.2396 x 10-5 m/s

speed = 3.95 m/s

At NASA's Zero Gravity Research Facility in Cleveland, Ohio, experimental payloads fall freely from rest in an evacuated vertica
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(a). Energy is 64,680 J

(b) velocity is 51.43m/s

(c) velocity in mph is 115.0mph

Explanation:

(a).

The potential energy P of the payload of mass m is at a vertical distance h is  

P =mgh.

Therefore, for the payload of mass m = 50kg at a vertical distance of h = 132 m, the potential energy is

P = (50kg)(9.8m/s^2)(132m)

\boxed{P = 64,680J}

(b).

When the payload reaches the bottom of the shaft, all of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy; therefore,

mgh= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v= \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2*9.8*135}

\boxed{v = 51.43m/s}

(c).

The velocity in mph is

\dfrac{51.43m}{s} * \dfrac{3600s}{hr} * \dfrac{1mile}{1609.34m}

\boxed{v= 115.0mph}

An autotransformer is used to reduce the voltage of a 100-kilovolt amp, 480-volt secondary of an isolated type transformer, to s
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

42KVA

Explanation:

Given data

High Voltage (HV)= 480V

Low Voltage (LV)= 277V

Fo find

Size of transformer=?

Solution

To find the size of transformer here we use the co-ratio.The Co-ratio is given as:

Co-Ratio= (HV - LV)/HV

where

HV is High Voltage

LV is Low Voltage

Now put the values we get

Co- Ratio=(480-277)/480=.42

So the size of transformer is 42KVA
