Ultraviolet waves kill bacteria and germs.

Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is ultraviolet wave.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is the wave in which both electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other to the direction of the motion of the wave.

For example, Ultraviolet wave.

Ultraviolet wave is very harmful wave. The exposure of this wave can cause skin cancer.

This radiation has been used for disinfectant. Ultraviolet wave is used by a lab technician to clean medical instruments that have been exposed to bacteria. Bacteria contain DNA which is vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. This radiation inactivates or kills the microbes.

Therefore, the correct answer is ultraviolet wave.

An element can be identified by its unique atomic number. When we look in the periodic table, we find that the element with an atomic number of 9292 is uranium. There is only option containing uranium which also confirms the mass number we found. So, the daughter nucleus of the decay is 234^U.

In an alpha decay, a positively charged particle similar to a helium-4 nucleus gets released from the parent nucleus spontaneously. As the composition suggests, an alpha particle consists of two protons and 2 neutrons. The particle does not travel much, but in short range, it carries the most energy.

It's smart to use the thermal energy provided by the radioactive decay to generate electricity. This allows for a stable supply of power without consuming much space which means the saved space can be used for more scientific equipment. The alpha particle, structurally equivalent to the nucleus of a helium atom.

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass

Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope ( $F_{t}$ ), vertical gravitational force ( $F_{g}$ ) and vertical normal force ( $F_{n}$ ), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, $F_{g}$ and $F_{n}$ cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope $F_{t}$ .

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope ( $F_{t}$ ) and the gravitational force ( $F_{g}$ ). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

$F_{r}=m.a$

$a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}$

$a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}$

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

$F_{r}=m.a$

$F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a$

$F_{t}-m.g=m.a$

$18.8-9.8m=5.22m$

$15.02m=18.8$

m = 1.25

Block m has 1.25 kg.

(d) Gravitational force is also called weight. So, as described above: $F_{g}=m.g$ .

The weight for the hanging block is

$F_{g}=1.25*9.8$

$F_{g}=$ 12.25 N

Comparing tension and weight:

$\frac{12.25}{18.8}$ ≈ 0.65

We can see that, weight of the hanging block is almost 0.65 times smaller than the tension on the rope.

What feelings do learned helplessness and depression have in common?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Learned helplessness can have a profound impact on mental health and well-being. People who experience learned helplessness are also likely to experience symptoms of depression, elevated stress levels, and less motivation to take care of their physical health. Not everyone responds to experiences the same way.

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

A cake is removed from a 350◦F oven and placed on a cooling rack in a 70◦F room. After 30 minutes the cake is 200◦F. When will i

galben [10]

Answer:

350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min

Explanation:

given data

oven = 350◦F

cooling rack = 70◦F

time = 30 min

cake = 200◦F

solution

we apply here Newtons law of cooling

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = -k(T-Ta)

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = $\frac{d}{dt}$ (T(t) -Ta)

= $\frac{dT}{dt} -\frac{dTa}{dt} =\frac{dT}{dt}$ = -k(T-Ta)

-ky $\frac{dy}{dt}$ = -ky

T(t) -Ta = (To -Ta) $e^{-kt}$ T(t) = Ta+ (To -Ta) $e^{-kt}$

put her value for time 30 min and T(t) = 200◦F and To =350◦F and Ta = 70◦F

so here

200 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) $e^{-k30}$

k = 0.025575

so here for T(t) = 100F

100 = 70 + ( 350 - 70 ) $e^{-0.025575*t}$

time = 87.33 min

so here 350 F to 100 F it take approx 87.33 min
