Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous

Physics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]2 years ago

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.

A 49 kg person is being dragged in their sleeping bag to the lake by a 593 N
crimeas [40]

Answer:

f = 485.62 N

Explanation:

Since, the bag is moving with some acceleration. Hence, the unbalanced force will be given as:

Unbalanced Force = Horizontal Component Applied Force - Frictional Force

Unbalanced Force = Fx - f

But, from Newtons Second Law of Motion:

Unbalanced Force = ma

comparing the equations:

ma = Fx - f

f = F Cos θ - ma

where,

f = frictional force  = ?

F = Applied force  = 593 N

m = mass of person = 49 kg

a = acceleration = 0.57 m/s²

θ = Angle with horizontal = 30°

Therefore,

f = (593 N)(Cos 30°) - (49 kg)(0.57 m/s²)

f = 513.55 N - 27.93 N

<u>f = 485.62 N</u>

Which law is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The Flemings left hand rule is used to find the magnitude of a magnetic force

Explanation:

Fleming's left hand rule states that if the first three fingers are held mutually at right angles to one another, then the fore finger points into the direction of magnetic field the middle finger in the direction of current while the thumb points in the direction of force.

Mathematically

Magnetic Force F= BILsinθ

Where

B= magnetic field density Tesla

I= current

L= length of conductor

θ= angle of conductor with field
