Electromagnetic spectrum consists of
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-ray
Gamma ray

We use these everyday in our life however they also have dangers.

Radio waves - their long wavelength allows them to help with communication
Danger - exposure to a lot of radio waves can cause cancer or leukaemia

Microwaves - used for heating up food and transferring heat to the food.
Dangers - exposure can cause cancers and other diseases.

Infrared - can be used for remote controls and security cameras.
Danger - can cause damage to the cornea in your eye

Visible light - used for photography and optical fibres.
Danger - intense sources can cause permanent or temporary damage to the eyesight.

Ultraviolet - can be used to sterilise food and sterilise surgical equipment.
Danger - can cause skin damage and may lead to a cancer.

X-rays - used to see the internal structure of tissues and bones.
Dangers - can lead to mutations and May damage the cells

Gamma- can be used to sterilise food and surgical equipment and kill microorganisms and other bacteria.
Dangers - May reach your cells and cause cancer and cell mutations which could result in mutations.

IrinaK [193]

The correct answer for this question is this one: "The drops dripped from a bloody knife about 2 ft above the ground."
On a floor directly underneath a second-floor balcony, there are several spherical drops of blood about 7 mm in diameter. The statement that best accounts for the drops is that the drops dripped from a bloody knife about 2 ft above the ground.

Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

a body initially at rest, starts moving with a constant acceleration of 2ms-2 .calculate the velocity acquired and the distance

Marta_Voda [28]

a) 10 m/s

b) 25 m

Explanation:

The body is moving with a constant acceleration, therefore we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the body in this problem:

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

$a=2 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

t = 5 s is the time

So, the final velocity is

$v=0+(2)(5)=10 m/s$

In this second part, we want to calculate the distance travelled by the body.

We can do it by using another suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

Here we have

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

$a=2 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

v = 10 m/s is the final velocity

Solving for s,

$s=\frac{10^2-0^2}{2(2)}=25 m$

A common activity like cooking a meal can use many natural Ingredients

<h3>Ingredients </h3>

Ingredients are substances combined to make a particular mixture such as a meal. most of the ingredients used for the preparation of a meal are sourced naturally.

In cooking different recipes of a meal the use of specific ingredients for each recipe differentiates the recipes.

Therefore we can conclude that cooking a meal requires the use of natural ingredients.
