Explain why the term “nuke it” is incorrect when referring to cooking food

Beacause “nuking” would refer to a nuclear blast whereas microwaving is only shooting microwave energy at the food, not literally ‘nuking’ it I could go more in depth but I am short on time

1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is th
liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as
Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.

How do scientists use the Doppler effect to understand the universe?
professor190 [17]
There's a very subtle thing going on here, one that could blow your mind.

Wherever we look in the universe, no matter what direction we look,
we see the light from distant galaxies arriving at our telescopes with
longer wavelengths than the light SHOULD have.

The only way we know of right now that can cause light waves to get
longer after they leave the source is motion of the source away from
the observer. The lengthening of the waves on account of that motion
is called the Doppler effect.  (The answer to the question is choice-c.)

But that may not be the only way that light waves can get stretched.  It's
the only way we know of so far, and so we say that the distant galaxies
are all moving away from us. 

From that, we say the whole universe is expanding, and that right there is
one of the strongest observations that we explain with the Big Bang theory
of creation.

Now:  If ... say tomorrow ... a competent Physicist discovers another way
for light waves to get stretched after they leave the source, then the whole
"expanding universe" idea is out the window, and probably the Big Bang
theory along with it !


Now that our mind has been blown, come back down to Earth with me,
and I'll give you something else to think about:

It's true that when we look at distant galaxies, we do see their light
arriving in our telescopes with longer wavelengths than it should have.
And then we use the Doppler effect to calculate how fast that galaxy
is moving away from us.  That's all true.  Astronomers are doing it
every day.                                   I mean every night.

So here's the question for you to think about ... maybe even READ about:

When the light from a distant galaxy pours into our telescope, and we
look at it, and we measure its wavelength, and we find that the wavelength
is longer than it should be ... how do we know what it should be ? ? ?

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.95 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d=0.0865 m from
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

kinetic energy = 0.1168 J

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we know that ;

F = kx

k = F/x

We are given ;

Mass; m = 1.95 kg

Spring stretch; d = x = 0.0865

So, Force = mg = 1.95 × 9.81

k = 1.95 × 9.81/0.0865 = 221.15 N/m

Now, initial energy is;

E1 = mgL + ½k(x - L)²

Also, final energy; E2 = ½kx² + ½mv²

From conservation of energy, E1 = E2

Thus;

mgL + ½k(x - L)² = ½kx² + ½mv²

Making the kinetic energy ½mv² the subject, we have;

½mv² = mgL + ½k(x - L)² - ½kx²

We are given L=0.0325 m

Plugging other relevant values, we have ;

½mv² = (1.95 × 9.81 × 0.0325) + (½ × 221.15(0.0865 - 0.0325)² - ½(221.15 × 0.0865²)

½mv² = 0.62170875 + 0.3224367 - 0.82734979375

½mv² = 0.1168 J

The diagram shows a ballistic pendulum. A 200 g bullet is fired into the suspended 4 kg block of wood and remains embedded insid
adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s
