Answer: Earth wire

Explanation: In the three-pronged plug , left pin is neutral and color of this pin wire is black, right pin is phase and color of this pin wire is red and third pin which is larger then other two is earth pin and color of this pin wire is green.

Third pin use for safety from the shock and to control high voltage of electricity.

So, the third wire in a three-pronged plug is called earth wire.

A 8.00-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

109.32 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg

Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s

Force constant, k = ?

Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

T = 2π √(m/k), where

T = period of oscillation

m = mass of object and

k = force constant if the spring

Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have

k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question

k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²

k = 315.91 / 2.89

k = 109.32 N/m

Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m

according to Newton's 1st law, in what direction Will an object continue to move if no other outside force acts upon it

asambeis [7]

Answer: <em>An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.</em>

Explanation: meaning, an object will continue in its same direction until stopped or acted upon by another force.

Suppose the conducting wire (with resistance R) was replace with one of the same material but has its dimension doubled (the len

sveticcg [70]

Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Thus, if the length is doubled, and the radius is halved:
R₂ = 2R₁/(1/2)²
R₂ = 8R₁
Therefore the resistance increases eight times.
