<h3>Answer: A) 3 pronged cord</h3>

Explanation:

One prong is known as the hot wire, where the electricity comes in, while the second prong is the neutral wire and electricity leaves. Recall that a circuit must be made for electrons to flow. This means that electrons enters your house through the transmission wires and then the electrons leave along the same lines they entered (just along a different wire).

This set up describes a 2 pronged cord. Adding a third prong allows for a grounding to happen. In the event of an electrical surge, when too many electrons are flowing, disaster is likely to happen without some kind of safety features. The grounding prong allows electrons to seek the ground. You can think of it like a drain in a bathtub when too much water gets in the tub.

Explanation:

In the parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+....$

4. When three 150 ohms resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}\\\\R=50\ \Omega$

5. Three resistors of 20 ohms, 40 ohms and 100 ohms are connected in parallel, So,

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{100}\\\\=11.76\ \Omega$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

<u>Step 2:</u> formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (

Vadim26 [7]

<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

A bicycle is ridden along a horizontal road with a driving force of 400, n,400n. its speed is constant at 12, m, slash, s,12m/s.

mr_godi [17]

The magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider is 400N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

The friction force is the opposing force which acts on the object which is in relative motion.

The driving force is equal and opposite to the friction force acting between road and bicycle.

Friction force = 400N

The friction force between rider and bike is zero.

So the magnitude of sum of friction force = 400N +0 = 400N

Thus, the magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider.
