The parents of a young child carefully placed plastic plug protectors in all the electrical outlets in their house. which statement best describes the role of the plastic protectors?

a. electricity is transported through wires, which are good conductors of electricity. to prevent the flow of electricity into other objects, a material that will prevent the flow of electricity from escaping the wires needs to be used. certain types of plastics, which are good conductors, are one of many materials that can be used.

b. electrical outlets contain metal wires that are good conductors of electricity. in order to promote electrical safety, the parents covered the outlets with plastic, an insulator that prevents electrical current from flowing to another object.

c. plastic is a good conductor of electricity. placing plastic covers over the electrical outlets allows the electrical current to be redirected back to the plug and ensures the safety of those around the outlets.

d. plastics and metals are good conductors. this is why plastics can be used to prevent the flow of electricity from materials, like metal wires, to other objects. by preventing the flow of electricity, these keep people safe.

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.
