<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.

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

$\Delta v=-27 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

$F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N$

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

$F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N$

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

$F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N$

What is the period of a soundwave whose wavelength is 20.0 m? Use values from the book and show ALL of your work.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Period = 1/17 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

<em>speed = wavelength / period </em>

If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

<em>Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s </em>

<em>Period = Wavelength/ speed</em>

<em> </em><u><em>= 1/17 seconds</em></u>

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$v=10m/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

$F_N+Fg$

where

$F_N =forceof the normal$

$Fg= force due to gravity$

Generally the net force is given to be $FC(force towards center)$

$F_C =F_N + Fg$

$F_N =F_C -Fg$

$F_N=F_C-F_g$

$F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg$

Mathematical we can now derive V

$m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}$

$\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}$

$v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}$

$v=10m/sec$

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be $v=10m/sec$

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the

anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.
