Answer:

theyre used to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

Answer:

The coating acts as an insulator to cover the metal conducting part of the wire. Without this insulator, the wire could come in contact with other conductors and lead to an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the man is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the moving ball before it was caught must equal the momentum of the man and the ball after he catches the ball.

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Velocity of the ball = 12.1 m/s

Before collision, momentum of the ball = mass x velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After collision the momentum of the man and ball system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf is their final common velocity.

Equating the initial and final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s

How are humidity and precipitation related?
german

Answer:

Relative humidity depends on the amount moisture actually in the air at some temperature to the amount of moisture that the air can hold.

For instance, at 25 deg C the air has a saturation pressure of 23.76 mm of Hg.

That means that if at that temperature the pressure of the water vapor in the air reaches 23.76 mm Hg then the air is 100% saturated.

I believe the standard air pressure at 25 deg C is 760 mm Hg.

Now if the pressure of the water vapor in the air is 1/2 * 23.76 = 11.88 mm then the air is 50% saturated and the relative hunidity is 50 %.

At 100% relative humidity rain occurs (the air can't hold any more water).
