Answer:
0.51 m
Explanation:
Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.
Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²
Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring
Potential energy, PE=mgh
Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass
Equating KE=PE
mgh=½kx²
Making x the subject of formula
Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then
Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.
The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.
The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.
The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.
It provides a low resistance path to the ground.
Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.
ANSWER:
C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.
No, they have different definitions
