<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.

Consider a rectangular ice floe 5.00 m high, 4.00 m long, and 3.00 m wide. a) What percentage of the ice floe is below the water

artcher [175]

Answer:

(a) 92 %

(b) 6.76 %

Explanation:

length, l = 4 m, height, h = 5 m, width, w = 3 m, density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

density of ice = 920 kg/m^3, density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Let v be the volume of ice below water surface.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of water x g = Total volume of ice block x density

of ice x g

v x 1000 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.92

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.92 x 100 = 92 %

(b) Let v be the volume of ice below the mercury.

By the principle of flotation

Buoyant force = weight of ice block

Volume immersed x density of mercury x g = Total volume of ice block x

density of ice x g

v x 13600 x g = V x 920 x g

v / V = 0.0676

% of volume immersed in water = v/V x 100 = 0.0676 x 100 = 6.76 %

I would say that it would be A.) Been insulted. This is because you are angered by someone else. It does not necessarily mean that something has de-escelated, you've lost control of your car, or you've nothing to lose. Hopefully that helps. :)

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op

Irina-Kira [14]

<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

A white dwarf star has a density of about 1.0 x 10^9 kg/m3. If the earth were to suddenly become as dense as a white dwarf star,

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km

Explanation:

The density of an object is given as the ratio between the mass of that object and the volume occupied by that object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, it is given that the density of Earth has become:

Density = 1 x 10⁹ kg/m³

Mass = Mass of Earth (Constant) = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Volume = 4/3πR³ (Volume of Sphere)

R = Radius of Earth = ?

Therefore,

1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/[4/3πR³]

4/3πR³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(1 x 10⁹ kg/m³)

R³ = (3/4)(5.97 x 10¹⁵ m³)/π

R = ∛[0.95 x 10¹⁵ m³]
