Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}

for the bacteria

F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}

F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N

for the swimmer

F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3

F =6.75 \eta\ N

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

True or false if an object has energy it must be moving
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object. The classic example of potential energy is to pick up a brick. When it's on the ground, the brick had a certain amount of energy.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation may damage central nervous system
Furkat [3]

Answer:

microwaves

Explanation:

microwaves do emit radiation, technically speaking, but it's not the DNA-damaging radiation we're used to hearing about. Microwaves, along with radio waves from (you guessed it) radio and cell phone towers, are types of non-ionizing radiation.
