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.

Look at the diagram. Emily needs to complete the circuit. What two points should be connected to complete the circuit and make t
pogonyaev

Answer:

The points 2 and 4 should be connected.

Explanation:

To complete the circuit, we need to connect the two points which when connected, encompass the battery and the bulb in the circuit. The points 2 and 4 do the job, since they connect the terminal of the battery and the terminal of the bulb, and thus complete the circuit.

Therefore,  the choice C is correct.

A 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser
sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee
kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2>v_f = 35.3 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}

C_d = 0.35

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}

A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2

v = 40.2 m/s

so we have

F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}

F = 1.46 N

So acceleration of the ball is

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}

a = 10.1 m/s^2

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)

v_f = 35.3 m/s
