i'm new with Arduino and i'm trying to use it with a ultrasonic sensor but when i connect the 5v and the GND together at the same time just like in the image the Arduino disconects from USB. I'm doing something wrong?

Don't ever make any connecting work when power is applied! Always turn off power before connecting, or disconnecting things. Else You might damage, destroy, Electronic devices.
yes but even when i do the conections before connecting the arduino it doesnt connect on the usb port when i plug it
Okey. Good.
I don't understand what You are trying to tell when You say Arduino disconnects from USB.
Can You explain this in an other way? What is happening and what is not happening, what is lost?
There is a short-circuit between GND and Vcc on the module, so if its in circuit the USB host detects an error.
It sounds like you've got a short circuit.
Please post a picture of your actual wiring and/or a proper schematic.

Please READ THIS so you know how best to use the forum.
Some of the cheaper chinese components are known to have the connections wrongly marked.
Often pays to check them out before connecting.

... you have a short and can only hope for the protection circuitry to stop the magic smoke from escaping.
Are you sure you don't have your breadboard rotated 90 degrees such that you are shorting all your pins together? How about an actual picture of your setup?
Hi,
Do you have a DMM?
