Explain why the term Nano is used to describe nanotechnology​

Physics
1 answer:
Volgvan4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nanotechnology means working with materials at the scale of one billionth of a metre.

Explanation:

The prefix “nano” refers to one billionth: it’s part of the scientific scale of measurement. Its science, engineering, and technology are conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things. Thus, this describes why the term nano is used to describe nanotechnology.

I hope this helps :)

Does riding a bike up a hill in higher gear burn more calories than a lower gear
Rasek [7]
Yes. If you are riding a bike up a hill in fifth gear, you will burn considerably more calories than if you were to bike up that hill in first gear. The lower the gear, the easier the pedaling, and therefore fewer calories are burned.

Imagine our Solar System is moving in the Milky Way towards a group of two stars. Star A is a Red star that is slightly closer t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

None of the stars give of light that is red-shifted

Explanation:

Motion of the observer or the source will cause a change in the wavelength of a wave. This is known as the Doppler effect. When an object and observer are getting close, blue shift occurs i.e., the wavelength gets shorter. When an object and observer are getting farther red shift occurs i.e., the wavelength gets longer.

Here, both the stars are getting closer to us so blue shift will occur.

Velocity of a wave is the. (a) Wavelength x frequency (b) Wave number x frequency (c) Time period x phase (d) None
Elden [556K]

Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wavelength is defined as the distance traveled by the wave in one complete oscillation.

The number of oscillations completed in one second is called frequency.

The relation for the wave velocity is given by

wave velocity = frequency x wavelength

Surgical needles are classified according to their shape; a size of circle shaft within an x,y axis; their point; and their eye.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Abdominal closure

Explanation:

The needle has a higher taper ratio and a lower tip angle which makes it sharper. The sharpness (taper-point) of this needle is neccesssary for smooth penetration of tissues such as subcutaneous layers and abdominal viscera, so as to minimize the potential damage of fascia.
