Answer:

The benefits are defined throughout the section described according to the particular context.

Explanation:

Just before it completes its function, users should substitute a fuse, although circuit breakers work through a trigger where you essentially restart or reboot.
Fuses become composed of such a lump of material (metal) that can explode when enough electric current is passed through everything, disturbing another circuit successfully therefore stopping the equipment from hitting another power outage.

Answer:

Explanation:

Circuit breaker is an automatic electrical switch which cuts the power when there is surge in current.

Advantages of Circuit breaker

They are more reliable i.e. they are not replaced frequently
Efficient and easy to safeguard electrical appliance

Disadvantage of Circuit breaker

They are less sensitive than fuses i.e. fuses are much faster than circuit breaker.

Describe the Compton Effect

Nana76 [90]

<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>

Earthquakes that originate beneath the ocean floor produce huge tidal waves called _____.

ololo11 [35]

Answer;

-Tsunami

Explanation;

-Tsunami is a series of large ocean waves (or "wave train") of extremely long wavelength and period, usually generated when a gigantic body of water, such as an ocean, is suddenly displaced on a massive scale by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake occurring on or near the sea floor or a volcanic eruption.

-After a sudden displacement of a large water volume by seismic activity (earthquake), the ocean floor is raised or dropped and large tsunami waves can be formed by gravitational forces.

On the way home from school, Taylor's car runs out of gas. He has to walk 25m north and 10m west in order to reach the nearest g

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Displacement and Distance</u>

These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:

d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m

To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.

The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):

$D=\sqrt{(25-0)^2+(-10-0)^2}$
