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 projectile of mass 1.800 kg approaches a stationary target body at 4.800 m/s. The projectile is deflected through an angle of
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg

speed of the target = 4.8 m/s

angle of deflection = 60°

Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s

magnitude of momentum after collision = ?

initial momentum of the body = m x v

                                                  = 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s

final momentum after collision

momentum along x-direction

P_x = m v cos θ

P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x  cos 60°

P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s

momentum along y-direction

P_y = m v sin θ

P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x  sin 60°

P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s

net momentum of the body

P = \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2}

P = \sqrt{4.52^2 + 2.61^2}

 P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.
