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

1 answer:

5 0

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

A 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do

Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.

How fast would the International Space Station (ISS) have to travel to maintain a circular orbit a distance of 1400 km above the

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.

Explanation:

Orbital speed of satellite is given by $v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ , where G is gravitational constant, M is mass of Earth and r is the distance to satellite from centre of Earth.

r = R + h = 6350 + 1400 = 7750 km = 7.75 x 10⁶ m

G = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

Substituting

$v=\sqrt{\frac{6.673\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{7.75\times 10^6}}=7223.86m/s=7.22km/s$

The International Space Station move at 7.22 km/s.

6050 J is the kinetic energy at D

Explanation:

In physics, the object's kinetic energy (K.E) defined as the energy it possesses during movement. It can be defined as the required work to accelerate a certain body weight in order to rest at a certain speed. When the body receives this energy as it speeds up (accelerates), it retains this energy unless speed varies. The equation is given as,

$K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}$

Where,

m - mass of an object

v - velocity of the object

Here,

Given data:

m = 100 kg

v = 11 m/s

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

$K . E=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times(11)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times 121=\frac{12100}{2}=6050\ \mathrm{J}$

The layer of earth that has the lightest elements is the

Sonja [21]

If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

The wavelength of light is given by the velocity divided by the frequency. the velocity of blue light is 300,000,000 m/sec, and

s2008m [1.1K]

Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. It is indirectly related to the frequency which is the number of wave that pass per unit of time. Wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency. We calculate as follows:

Wavelength = 300,000,000 m/sec / 650,000,000,000,000 per second
Wavelength = 4.62x10^-4 m
