What type of electrical cord has a ground? 3 pronged cord 2 pronged cord

<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 horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        k = 130 N/m,       \Delta x = 17 cm = 0.17 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

     mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

             Energy = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So,    \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

   \frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}

          v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}

                     = 1.34

                v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

           Frictional force = \mu \times mg

                                    = 0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8

                                    = 4.116 N

Also,  Kinetic energy = work done by friction

           \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d

           \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d

             1.8515 = 4.116 \times d

                 d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.

How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?
True [87]
Greetings!

"<span>How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?"...

A significant figure is:
-A non zero number
-A zero in between non zero numbers
-Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point

Therefore, this number has three significant figures:
3,4,0

Hope this helps.

Through which type of media do mechanical waves, such as sound, move the fastest?
monitta

 Mechanical waves travel the fastest in solids and liquids because the molecules are more closely packed together than gases, so energy is transferred from one particle to another particle faster<span>.</span>

When you lift an object, you add the energy of lifting to the object.<br> Tor F
PtichkaEL [24]

It's true, when we lift an object we add energy to it.

because, when we lift an object by applying force , the object attains a height and hence the energy gets stored in it, in the form gravitational potential energy .
