The screwdriver used by an electrician has a plastic or rubber covers on them why

Physics
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Plastic or rubber are regarded as an insulator, and an insulator does not allow the flow of electric current through them, so the handles of screwdrivers as well as pliers that electricians use in repairing is been covered with plastic or rubber so that electric current is prevented to pass through it to the body of electricians to avoid been electrocuted as well as shock.

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Space scientists have a large test chamber from which all the air can be evacuated and in which they can create a horizontal uni
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

F=-88Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)

F=u*N

with \mu =0.47

F=98.7Ib

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

F=-88Ib
