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.

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformati
Slav-nsk [51]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformation cycle. At a time, t = 0, a tensile stress of 20 MPa is applied instantaneously and maintained for 100 s. The stress is then removed at a rate of 0.2 MPa s−1 until the polymer is unloaded. If the creep compliance of the material is given by:

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

Where,

Jo= 3m^2/ GPA

to= 200s

Determine

a) the strain after 100's (before stress is reversed)

b) the residual strain when stress falls to zero.

Answer:

a)-60GPA

b) 0

Explanation:

Given t= 0,

σ = 20Mpa

Change in σ= 0.2Mpas^-1

For creep compliance material,

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

J(t) = 3 (1 - exp (-0/100))= 3m^2/Gpa

a) t= 100s

E(t)= ΔσJ (t - Jo)

= 0.2 × 3 ( 100 - 200 )

= 0.6 (-100)

= - 60 GPA

Residual strain, σ= 0

E(t)= Jσ (Jo) ∫t (t - Jo) dt

3 × 0 × 200 ∫t (t - Jo) dt

E(t) = 0

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 ​units/sec. What is the force on the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?
Neko [114]
Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J
