Answer: b) circuit breaker interrupt

Explanation:

Wires connect to outlets through terminals and these terminals need to be tight to ensure that electricity flows with the minimum amount of resistance.

If the terminal is poorly tightened, what happens is that resistance will build up as the appliance is being used and this resistance will make the terminal hotter.

The heat will continue to rise until the circuit breaker trips to interrupt the circuit and protect the appliance.

Assume a function requires 20 lines of machine code and will be called 10 times in the main program. You can choose to implement
Volgvan

Answer:

"Macro Instruction"

Explanation:

A macro definition is a rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence should be mapped to a replacement output sequence according to a defined procedure. The mapping process that instantiates a macro use into a specific sequence is known as macro expansion.

It is a series of commands and actions that can be stored and run whenever you need to perform the task. You can record or build a macro and then run it to automatically repeat that series of steps or actions.

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of  weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}

we know that

Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons

Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part ( the required fig and table )

answer : The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Rate of energy input to the collectors from solar radiation = 0.3 kW/m^2

percentage of solar power absorbed by refrigerant = 60%

Determine the solar collector surface area

The solar collector surface area = 7133 m^2

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem
