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>

Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?

Naily [24]

They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

A 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?

klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli Effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 3.00 cm

Exit diameter = 9.00 cm

Flow = 40.0 L/s²

We need to calculate the pressure

Using Bernoulli effect

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho g h_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

When two point are at same height so ,

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$ ....(I)

Firstly we need to calculate the velocity

Using continuity equation

For input velocity,

$Q=A_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{Q}{A_{1}}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{1}=56.58\ m/s$

For output velocity,

$v_{2}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(4.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{2}=6.28\ m/s$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{1}-P_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$\Delta P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(56.58^2-6.28^2)$

$\Delta P=1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula of height

$\Delta P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.58\times10^{6}=1000\times9.8\times h$

$h=\dfrac{1.58\times10^{6}}{1000\times9.8}$

$h=161.22\ m$

Hence, The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

A train slows from 60m/s to 20m/s in 50s

Dovator [93]

Answer:

a = -4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s

a = -40 m/s / 50 s

a = -4/5 m/s^2

hope this helps! <3
