Answer:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

The main hazards of working with electricity are:

  • Electric shock and burns from contact with live parts.
  • Injury from exposure to arcing, fire from faulty electrical equipment or installations.

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th
Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.90J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.250 kg  = 250 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of aluminum = 150^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC

T_f=59.10^oC

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Total internal reflection is going on. The refractive index of water is about 1.3, so sin 90/sin r=1/sinr=1.3. So the fish can only see objects outside the water within about 50 degrees of the vertical
