When does a circuit is said to be over loaded?​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Every electric circuit in a wiring system must be protected against overloads. A circuit overload occurs when the amount of current flowing through the circuit exceeds the rating of the protective devices. The amount of current flowing in a circuit is determined by the load -- or the "demand" -- for current.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

Shari uses the data in the table to predict how her weight on Venus would compare with her weight on Earth.
spin [16.1K]

Answer :  <em>Her weight is lower on Venus because the acceleration due to gravity is lower.</em>

Explanation :

Venus is also called as Earth's twin. This is because both the mass and the size of Earth and Venus are almost same. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8\ m/s^2 while on Venus is 8.87\ m/s^2.

So, when Shari measure her weight on Venus she found her weight is lower on Venus. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is lower on the surface of Venus as compared to the Earth.

Since,    w=mg

i.e. weight depends on g.

<em>So, correct prediction is (b)</em>

You see lightning and 30 seconds later you hear thunder. how far away is the thunderstorm? take the speed of sound to be 339 m/s
Jobisdone [24]
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
      Speed = Distance/Time

For light,
   3 x 10^8 = d/t
                t = d/(3 x 10^8)   -1 

For sound,
           339 = d/(t + 30)       -2

Putting value from 1 in 2.
               d = 10^4 m(approx)

Determine the change in electric potential energy of a system of two charged objects when a -2.1-C charged object and a -5.0-C c
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy ∆E = 365.72 kJ

Explanation:

Electric potential energy can be defined mathematically as:

E = kq1q2/r ....1

k = coulomb's constant = 9.0×10^9 N m^2/C^2

q1 = charge 1 = -2.1C

q2 = charge 2 = -5.0C

∆r = change in distance between the charges

r1 = 420km = 420000m

r2 = 160km = 160000m

From equation 1

∆E = kq1q2 (1/r2 -1/r1) ......2

Substituting the given values

∆E = 9.0×10^9 × -2.1 ×-5.0(1/160000 - 1/420000)

∆E = 94.5 × 10^9 (3.87 × 10^-6) J

∆E = 365.72 × 10^3 J

∆E = 365.72 kJ
