Answer:

1.) Radar

2.) Cancer Treatment

4.) Cooking

Explanation:

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiations, like radio waves, X-rays, Gamma Rays, ultraviolet radiation. Microwaves has a wide range of applications. It has frequency range 1GHz to 300GHz and has smaller wavelengths. As microwaves do not bend by any obstacles coming in their path, So, it can be used in radar. In cancer treatment, it is used to increase the temperature of tumor cells by high-power microwaves, results in turns cell membrane damage, which in results destruction of cancer cells. In cooking, microwave heat food like the sun rays your face i.e by means of radiation. It increases the energy of molecules inside food, which results in cooking or heating the food.

Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.
Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

12345 [234]

Answer:B) The binding site with a kid of7.9uM is the low affinity site.

Explanation:

The rate at which macro molecules like protein bind together is called affinity. The higher the affinity site the more readily these macro molecules fuses together. 7.9uM is a low affinity value than 359uM.
