Answer:

Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up.May 3, 2018

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

An observer on Earth sees rocket 1 leave Earth and travel toward Planet X at 0.3c. The observer on Earth also sees that Planet X

Verizon [17]

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

$u'=0.625 c$

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

Action and reaction force always cancel each other. <br><br> True or False.

polet [3.4K]

False. They have same magnitude and opposite direction but they never cancel as each of them does the action on the other body, and for the forces to cancel out they need to act ob the same body.

Hope this helps!

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

$a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m$

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.
