Actually, the best way to put it would be if the current is too large or too small. 

Fuses and circuit breakers are both devices that "break" if the current flowing through them is too large.

A fuse is usually a thin piece of wire that will melt and break the circuit if too large a current flows through it. The thicker the fuse wire, the more the current needed to melt it and the higher the "rating" of the fuse. The function of the fuse is to protect the wiring and the equipment.

A circuit breaker is an electronic circuit that will switch off the current if it is too great. A circuit breaker is designed to operate much more quicker than a fuse and so the damage is less because the current is switched off in a much shorter time.

Answer: The purpose of a fuse or circuit breaker is to stop current that is flowing too fast.

Explanation:

In case of over flowing of current carrying charges, a circuit breaker or fuse breaks the current and protects the circuit from damage. A fuse is wire having low melting point placed in a circuit. When current is moving too fast i.e. in case of over current, the heat produced melts this wire breaking the circuit. Similarly a circuit breaker is a switch which opens up in case of over flow of current.

A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes theroute. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a directi
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Explanation:

Let's place the origin of a coordinate system at city A.

The final position of the airplane is given by:

rf = ra + rb + rc    where ra, rb and rc are the vectors of the relative displacements the airplane has made. If we separate this equation into its x and y coordinates:

rfX = raX+ rbX + rcX = 175*cos(30)-150*sin(20)-190 = -89.75km

rfY = raY + rbY + rcT = 175*sin(30)+150*cos(20) = 228.45km

The module of this position is:

rf = \sqrt{rfX^2+rfY^2} = 245.45km

And the angle measure from the y-axis is:

\alpha =atan(rfX/rfY) = 21.45\°

So the answer is 245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.

At what distance between two objects would you have the greatest gravitational force
Alla [95]

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers.  So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.

Which of the following is NOT one of the four elements of emotion?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Attention

Explanation:

Hello there, fellow peer! The answer to question is attention. Let's say someone is the control. The behavioral expression is an element of expression, so the control will feel emotions. Subjective Experience is when someone felt the way you feel and they are trying to help you. That is a type of emotion which can lead to empathy for you. This is also not the answer. Physiological Arousal is also not the answer because this is when you can feel what someone else is feeling and you try to give them therapy.

Using the process of elimination, our answer is therefore attention.
