Destroying cancer cells requires a lot of energy.

High-frequency waves have high energy.

--

The destruction of cancer cells requires a lot of energy, so high-frequency radio waves can be used in this technology because they have high energy.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

Calculate the propellant mass required to launch a 2000 kg spacecraft from a 180 km circular orbit on a Hohmann transfer traject
Finger [1]

Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec

The diagram shows monochromatic light passing through two openings.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.
