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.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s

A car is traveling at 39.7 mi/h on a horizontal highway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the coefficient of fricti
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The minimum distance in which the car will stop is

x=167.38m

Explanation:

39.7\frac{mi}{h}*\frac{1km}{0.621371mi}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=17.747\frac{m}{s}

∑F=m*a

∑F=u*m*g

The force of friction is the same value but in different direction of the force moving the car so it can stop so

F=m*a\\a=\frac{F}{m}\\a=\frac{u*m*g}{m}\\a=u*g\\a=0.096*-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

a=-0.9408 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*(x_{f}-x_{o})\\v_{f}=0 \\x_{o}=0\\0=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*x_{f}\\x_{f}=\frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} \\x_{f}=\frac{(-17.747\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2*(-0.9408)} \\x_{f}=167.38m

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Ω resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance  in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})

Put the value into the formula

I(t)=\dfrac{8.2}{150}\times(1-e^{-0.110\times10^{-3}\times\dfrac{150}{38\times10^{-3}}})

I(t)=0.01925\ A

I(t) = 19.25\ mA

(B). We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

Using formula of energy

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times38\times10^{-3}\times(0.01925)^2

E=7.04\times10^{-6}\ J

{tex]E=7.04\ \mu J[/tex]

Hence, (A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.
