Answer:

Radiation moves out of the microwave into waves causing heat.

Explanation:

Inside your microwave oven, electrical energy is transformed into EM energy in the magnetron. When the microwave photons interact with food, food molecules are physically agitated, transforming the EM energy into kinetic energy, or energy of movement .

During soccer practice, Maya kicked a soccer ball 37° off the ground at 25 m/s. Max, the goalie, caught the ball 60 m away from

amid [387]

Answer:

3.0 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by considering the horizontal motion of the ball only. In fact, the ball moves by uniform motion (constant speed) along the horizontal direction, since there are no forces acting in this direction. The horizontal speed of the ball is given by:

$v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (25 m/s)(cos 37^{\circ})=19.97 m/s$

and it does not change during the motion.

We also know that the ball travels a horizontal distance of d = 60 m, so we can find the time it takes to cover the distance by using the equation:

$t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{60 m}{19.97 s}=3.0 s$
