To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy intoenergy A) electromagnetic B) heat C) mechanical D) nuclear

1 answer:

5 0

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. (A) Specifically, it pours high-power RADIO waves into the box.

Water molecules and fat molecules resonate (jiggle) with the radio waves, and the heat is generated IN THE FOOD.

I work with microwave radios.

-- To communicate high-speed data over a distance of 5 to 10 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 0.07 watt .

-- To communicate high-speed data over distances up to 80 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 1 to 2 watts.

-- To heat up a chunk of leftover meatloaf, a microwave oven pumps radio waves into the box with a power output of 1200 to 1500 watts ! !

What type of galaxy is M82 based on its appearance in the visible-light view?

SSSSS [86.1K]

<h2>Answer: irregular</h2>

According to Hubble galaxies are classified into elliptical, spiral and irregular.

It should be noted this classification is based only on the visual appearance of the galaxy, and does not take into account other aspects, such as the rate of star formation or the activity of the galactic nucleus.

The classification is as follows:

1. Elliptical galaxies: Their main characteristic is that the concentration of stars decreases from the nucleus, which is small and very bright, towards its edges. In addition, they contain a large population of old stars, usually little gas and dust, and some newly formed stars.

2. Spiral galaxies: They have the shape of flattened disks containing some old stars and also a large population of young stars, enough gas and dust, and molecular clouds that are the birthplace of the stars.

3. Irregular Galaxies: Galaxies that do not have well-defined structure and symmetry.

In this context, galaxy M82 does not match with the first two types of galaxies, because it has not a defined shape.

Therefore, M82 is an irregular galaxy.

Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often

mart [117]

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi

oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775°

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>
