Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

Answer: Hello there!

While some substances will show fluorescence when putting inside a microwave, there are some other substances that will react under other situations, for example, some of them may react to UV light or X-rays.

So she may find that the substance is fluorescent by putting it in the microwave, but if the substance does not react, this doesn't mean that the substance is not fluorescent.

I disagree.
Many substances show fluorescence under ULTRAVIOLET light, NOT microwaves. :)

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the
nydimaria [60]

Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/sec^2

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}

l=3.987m

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m
