Prolonged exposure to significant levels of microwaves is known to cause "cataracts" in your eyes, which is a clouding of the lens preventing you from seeing clearly. People who work on aircraft carrier decks wear special suits which reflect microwaves, to avoid being "cooked" by the powerful radar units in modern military planes. But that's to guard against powerful radar - not mobile phones or wifi. <span>Some research in the past has indicated that the small doses of microwaves from mobile phones might affect parts of your brain - after all, you're holding the transmitter right by your head. Other research is inconclusive, although there is a feeling that you're more vulnerable if you're young and your brain is still growing.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)</span>

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω

lisabon 2012 [21]

According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms

A 100 kg box is suspended from two ropes. The "left rope makes an angle of 20" degrees with the vertical, and the right rope mak

GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

$T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)$

$T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)$

$mg_x = 0$

$T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)$

$T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)$

$mg_y= -mg$

Let $R_x$ and $R_y$ is the resultant in x and y direction.

$R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0$

$R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg$

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

$-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0$ .............(1)

$T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0$ ..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:

$T_1=866.86\ N$ (tension on the left rope)

$T_2=1063.36\ N$ (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose we repeat the experiment from the video, but this time we use a rocket three times as massive as the one in the video, a

shusha [124]

Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

In the case shown above, the result 2/3 is directly related to the fact that the speed of the rocket is proportional to the ratio between the mass of the fluid and the mass of the rocket.

In the case shown in the question above, the momentum will happen due to the influence of the fluid that is in the rocket, which is proportional to the mass and speed of the same rocket. If we consider the constant speed, this will result in an increase in the momentum of the fluid. Based on this and considering that rocket and fluid has momentum in opposite directions we can make the following calculation:

Rocket speed = rocket momentum / rocket mass.

As we saw in the question above, the mass of the rocket is three times greater than that of the rocket in the video. For this reason, we can conclude that the calculation should be done with the rocket in its initial state and another calculation with its final state:

Initial state: Speed = rocket momentum / rocket mass.

Final state: Speed = 2 rocket momentum / 3 rocket mass. -------------> 2/3

A train travels due north in a straight line with a constant speed of 100 m/s. Another train leaves a station 2,881 m away trave

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station

Explanation:

Let the train traveling due north with a constant speed of 100 m/s be Train A.

Let the train traveling due south with a constant speed of 136 m/s be Train B.

From the question, Train B leaves a station 2,881 m away (that is 2,881 m away from Train A position).
