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 .

Hope it helped!

A car has a mass of 1.00 × 103 kilograms, and it has an acceleration of 4.5 meters/second2. What is the net force on the car?

aksik [14]

ANSWER

C. $F=4.5 \times10^3$ . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=ma$ , where

$m=1.00\times 10^3kg$ is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

$a=4.5ms^{2}$ is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$F=1.00\times10^3 \times 4.5$ .

We rearrange to get,

$F=1.00\times4.5 \times10^3$ .

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

$F=4.5 \times10^3 N$ .

The correct answer is C

Is there carbon atoms in the compound Ca3N2

katen-ka-za [31]

No, there are not any carbon atoms inside this compound.

The compound is $Ca_3N_2$ . This means there are 3 "Ca" atoms and 2 "N" atoms.

Ca is calcium
N is nitrogen

Thus, none of the elements in this compound are carbon, meaning there are no carbon atoms. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.

algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

I have an astronomy question... Spinning up the solar nebula. The orbital speed of the material in the solar nebula at Pluto's a

attashe74 [19]

<span>The angular momentum of a particle in orbit is

l = m v r

Assuming that no torques act and that angular momentum is conserved then if we compare two epochs "1" and "2"

m_1 v_1 r_1 = m_2 v_2 r_2

Assuming that the mass did not change, conservation of angular momentum demands that

v_1 r_1 = v_2 r_2

or

v1 = v_2 (r_2/r_1)

Setting r_1 = 40,000 AU and v_2 = 5 km/s and r_2 = 39 AU (appropriate for Pluto's orbit) we have

v_2 = 5 km/s (39 AU /40,000 AU) = 4.875E-3 km/s

Therefore, </span> the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun is <span>4.875E-3 km/s.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
