You are a scientist trying to develop a technology that can be used to power wrist watches. Which type of electromagnetic wave w

ould be most useful to investigate?
Gamma rays, because they are powerful and safe.
Infrared waves, because they do not produce heat and have high energy.
Ultraviolet waves, because they have moderate energy and are abundant.
Microwaves, because they are powerful and available.

Well I don't know.  Let's examine the choices one at a time:

-- Gamma rays ... NO, they are NOT safe.

-- Infrared waves ... NO, they DO produce heat.

-- Ultraviolet waves ... Maybe.  They have plenty of energy, and they're abundant in sunlight.  But unrestricted exposure to them is somewhat dangerous.  

-- Microwaves ... Maybe.  They can be generated with plenty of energy, with inexpensive devices. (They're even used, in most homes, to warm up leftover meatloaf.)  They're safe at moderate power levels, and they're actually all over the place right now.

I think my personal choice is microwaves.

An 800-g block of ice at 0.00°C is resting in a large bath of water at 0.00°C insulated from the environment. After an entropy c
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Unmeltedd ice = 308.109 g

Explanation:

Gibbs Free energy:

A systems Gibbs Free Energy is defined as the free energy of the product of the absolute temperature and the entropy change less than the enthalpy change.

Therefore, G = ΔH-TΔS

where G is Gibbs Free Energy

          ΔH is enthalpy change

          T is absolute temperature

          ΔS is entropy change

Here since there is a phase change, therefore G will be 0.

∴ΔH = TΔS

Given: Temperature, T = 0°C = 273 K

           Entropy change,ΔS = 600 J/K

           Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g

∴ΔH = TΔS

  ∴ΔH = 273 x 600

           = 163800 J

So this is the amount of enthalpy that will be used into melting of ice.

  ∴ΔH = mass of ice melted x latent heat of fusion of water

    Mass of ice melted = ΔH / latent heat of fusion of water

                                     = 163800 / 333

                                     = 491.891 g

This is the mass of ice melted.

And initial amount of ice is 800 g

Amount of ice left after melting = Initial amount of ice - amount of ice melted

                                                   = 800-491.891

                                                  = 308.109 g

Amount of ice remained after melting = 308.109 g

How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy
Licemer1 [7]

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

u \:  =  \:  \frac{kq1q2}{d}

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

A string, stretched between two fixed posts, forms standing-wave resonances at 325 Hz and 390 Hz. What is the largest possible v
Pavel [41]

Answer:

65

Explanation:

The resonant frequencies for a fixed string is given by the formula  nv/(2L).  

Where n is the multiple .

v is speed in m/s .

The difference between any two resonant frequencies is given by v/(2L)= fn+1 – fn

fundamental frequency means n=1

i.e  fn+1 – fn = 390 -325

                      =  65
