Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
The apron acts a protective layer.

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108

quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$
