Answer:

Rubber or plastic covers are bad conductors of electricity. So they do not allow the electric current to pass through it.

Explanation:

Rubber and plastic are bad conductors of electricity, therefore when handling a tool with a rubber handle, the electricity will not pass through it.

Find the pressure exerted on the floor by a 100N box whose bottom area is 40cm x<br> 50cm.
Mazyrski [523]

<u>Answer:</u>

Pressure exerted = 500 Pa

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for pressure is as follows:

Pressure = \frac{Force \space\ applied}{Area}

In this case,

Force applied = 100N

Area = 40cm × 50cm = 2000cm² = 2000 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.2m²

Substituting these values into the formula:

Pressure = \frac{100}{0.2}

⇒ Pressure = 500 Pa

Would the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increase or decrease if the dimensions of t
storchak [24]

Answer:

Yes the frequency of the angular simple harmonic motion (SHM) of the balance wheel increases three times if the dimensions of the balance wheel reduced to one-third of original dimensions.

Explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure below.

Time period for balance wheel is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}

I=mR^{2}

m = mass of balance wheel

R = radius of balance wheel.

Angular frequency is related to Time period as:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{I}} \\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}

As dimensions of new balance wheel are one-third of their original values

R_{new}=\frac{R}{3}

\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR_{new}^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m(\frac{R}{3})^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\sqrt{\frac{K}{mR^{2}}}\\\\\omega_{new}={3}\omega
