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

Physics

Nikitich [7]2 years ago

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.

The pressure exerted by a gas is 2.0 atm while it has a volume of 350 mL. What would be the volume of this sample of gas at stan
34kurt

Answer:

700 mL or 0.0007 m³

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 2 atm

V₁ = Initial volume = 350 mL

P₂ = Final pressure = 1 atm

V₂ = Final volume

Here the temperature remains constant. So, Boyle's law can be applied here.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}=V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{2\times 350}{1}\\\Rightarrow V_2=700\ mL

So, volume of this sample of gas at standard atmospheric pressure would be 700 mL or 0.0007 m³

PLEASEEE HELP, thank you :)
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Given that the <em>current </em>(Ampere) in a series circuit is same so we can ignore it. We can assume that the total voltage is 60V and all the 3 resistance are different, 20Ω, 40Ω and 60Ω. So first, we have to find the total resistance by adding :

Total resistance = 20Ω + 40Ω + 60Ω

= 120Ω

Next, we have to find out that 1Ω is equal to how many voltage by dividing :

120Ω = 60V

1Ω = 60V ÷ 120

1Ω = 0.5V

Lastly, we have to calculate the voltage at R1 so we have to multiply by 20 (R1) :

1Ω = 0.5V

20Ω = 0.5V × 20

20Ω = 10V

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s and a speed of 42.0 m/s.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Force, |F| = 2100 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s, \dfrac{m}{t}=50\ kg/s

Initial speed, v = 42 m/s

The momentum is reduced to zero, final speed, v = 0

The relation between the force and the momentum is given by :

F=\dfrac{p}{t}

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F=50\ kg/s\times 42\ m/s

|F| = 2100 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 2100 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
