Thepotemich [5.8K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

R = 5.28  103 km

Explanation:

The definition of density is

              ρ = m / V

              V = m /ρ

Where m is the mass and V the volume of the body

The volume of a sphere is

            V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

             4/3 π r³ = m / ρ

             R =∛ ¾ m / ρ π

The mass of the planet is

              M = 5.5 Me

              R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 Me /ρ π

Let's reduce the density to SI units

             ρ = 1.76 g / cm³ (1 kg / 10³ g) (10² cm / 1 m)³

             ρ = 1.76 10³ kg / m³

Let's calculate

               R = ∛ ¾ 5.5 5.97 10²⁴ / (1.76 10³ pi)

               R = ∛ 0.14723 10²¹

               R = 0.528 10⁷ m

               R = 0.528 104 km

               R = 5.28  103 km
