Answer: Refrigeration

Explanation: Food preservation is the technique of preserving food items from spoiling. It is done by preventing the growth of microorganisms and preventing the rancidity of fats.

In ancient times, the methods used for preservation of foods were drying foods which remove water and thus reduces the bacterial growth, smoking raw meats also hampers the bacterial activity and salt curing leads to osmosis and thus the bacteria dies.

The latest method is refrigeration which makes the food colder and the rate of deterioration gets slow. Bacterial action reduces with refrigeration, as bacteria cannot survive at low temperatures.

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t

Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

x = d / 52

x = 0.590 / 52

x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

Δx = dx /dd Δd

Δx = 1/52 Δd

Δx = 1/52 0.005

Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

#_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd

n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2$

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².

The electric field is measured for points at distances r from the center of a uniformly charged insulating sphere that has volum

RoseWind [281]

For the electric field is measured for points at distances r,Electric field is mathematically given as

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

<h3>What is the Electric field?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the electric field uniform charged is mathematically given as

$E=\frac{lr}{3e0}$

Therefore

E=lr/3E0=3Ee0/r

Therefore

E=3*6*10^4*8.85*10^{-12}

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

In conclusion, E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3
