An infected tooth forms an abscess (area of infected tissue) that fills with gas. The abscess puts pressure on the nerve of the

tooth, causing a toothache. While waiting to see a dentist, the person with the toothache tried to relieve the pain by treating the infected area with moist heat. Will this treatment help? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, the treatment won't work

Explanation:

Since the abscess is filled with gas, and is already putting pressure on the tooth nerve, applying moist heat will only aggravate the problem. The pressure of a given gas increases with temperature and so, the gas within the abscess will only put more pressure on the nerve due to the expansion of the gas within the abcess, causing her more discomfort.

A mass spectrograph is used to measure the masses of ions. true or false
zysi [14]

Answer:

It is true.  

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are typically presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. Mass spectrometry is used in many different fields and is applied to pure samples as well as complex mixtures.  

A mass spectrum is a plot of the ion signal as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio. These spectra are used to determine the elemental or isotopic signature of a sample, the masses of particles and of molecules, and to elucidate the chemical identity or structure of molecules and other chemical compounds.

What's the difference in a balanced force in an unbalanced force
AlekseyPX

There's no such thing as one balanced force or one unbalanced force.

If ALL of the forces in a GROUP of forces acting on the same object
all add up to zero, then we say that the GROUP of forces is balanced.

If they don't, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.

Two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
One force can't.

A woman carries a 10kg box up a set of 5m high stairs and then down a 12m long hallway. How much work does she do on the box?
nika2105 [10]

Answer: 1666J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of box (m) = 10kg

Total distance covered by box (h)

= (5m + 12m)

= 17m

work done on the box = ?

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance. Hence, the magnitude of work done on the box depends on its mass (m), distance covered (h), and acceleration due to gravity (g)

(g has a value of 9.8m/s²

i.e Work = mgh

Work = 10kg x 9.8m/s² x 17m

Work = 1666J

Thus, 1666 joules of work was done by the woman on the box.
