When cooking food in a microwave it is more important to rely on the internal temperature of the food because microwave do not adequately kills pathogens that may be in food.  Microwave normally penetrate food to the depth of 1 to 1.5 only. In thicker foods, microwave doesn't usually reach the center of the food, the un-reached part normally cook by conduction.

Relying on <u>internal temperature is more important</u> when cooking food in a microwave rather than on previous cooking time because the internal temperature of the food is a critical indicator if the food is safe for consumption.

<h2>Further Explanation  </h2>

Microwave

Microwave has a generator inside it that is called magnetron. This magnetron gets electricity from the power outlet and convert this into radio waves. The magnetron then shoots these waves into the food compartment. The molecules of the food absorbs the energy causing them to vibrate and move fast. The higher the kinetic energy the hotter the temperature of the substance. Basically, it is just ENERGY transfer.

Internal temperature vs. cooking time

When cooking raw meat and poultry, food handlers must ensure that the food’s internal temperature has reached the safe minimum temperature and rest time. A food thermometer must be used to check the temperature. When roasting, the oven temperature must not be lower than 325 °F. Cooking to a safe minimum cooking temperature destroys harmful bacteria that cause food borne illness.  

<u>Safe Minimum internal Temperature and Rest Time for Meat  </u>

  • Poultry (All poultry, minced, whole, chopped and stuffing) - 165ºF  
  • Beef, Pork, Veal, and Lamb (chops, roasts, steaks) - 145ºF with a 3 minute rest time  
  • Minced Meat - 160ºF  

<u />

<u>Danger Zone</u> (40 ℉ - 140 ℉) is the range of temperature where it is very ideal for harmful bacteria to grow rapidly.

skad [1K]

The option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that D. Abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

It should be noted that a hypothesis simply means the proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence.

From the information, Smith is conducting an experiment to determine if paintings of landscapes produce more peaceful feelings than abstract paintings.

Therefore, the option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 113 $rev/min$. When steam is shut off, the friction of the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

α = - 1.883 rev/min²

Explanation:

Given

ωin = 113 rev/min

ωfin = 0 rev/min

t = 1.0 h = 60 min

α = ?

we can use the following equation

ωfin = ωin + α*t      ⇒     α = (ωfin - ωin) / t

⇒     α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)

⇒     α = - 1.883 rev/min²

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s
