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.

Travka [436]

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

Five lamp, each labbled "6V,3W" are operated at normal brightness. What is the total energy supplied to the lamps in five second
REY [17]

Answer:

E = 75 J

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the total power consumed by the five lamps:

Total\ Power = P = (5)(Power\ of\ one\ lamp)\\P = (5)(3\ W)\\P = 15\ W

Now, the energy supply can be calculated as follows:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy = ?

t = time = 5 s

Therefore,

E = (15 W)(5 s)

<u>E = 75 J</u>
