Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

Disagree

Explanation:

Fluoresce objects will glow when put under Ultraviolet light as the molecules are excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules

<span>I disagree with her because many substances show fluorescence under ultraviolet light, not microwaves. </span>

A food department is kept at â12°c by a refrigerator in an environment at 30°c. the total heat gain to the food department is
slava [35]

As per energy conservation in the reversible engine we can say

Q_2 + W = Q_1

here we know that

Q_2 = 3300 kJ/h

Q_1 = 4800 kJ/h

now from above equation

3300 + W = 4800

W = 1500 kJ/h

now we can convert it into kW

W = 1500\times \frac{kJ}{3600s}

W = 0.42 kW

so above is the power input to the refrigerator

now to find COP we know that

COP = \frac{Q_2}{W}

COP = \frac{3300}{1500} = 2.2

so COP of refrigerator is 2.2

Sort the phrases based on whether they represent kinetic energy or potential energy.
alexandr1967 [171]
Kinetic energy:
*the energy of a moving body*
rising water vapor.
the wings of flying hummingbird.
rolling marble.

Potential energy:
*the energy that is stored in a body so that any small change in position or state of the body, will result in this body movement by transforming all this potential energy into kinetic energy*
stone resting.
disconnected battery (the potential energy is what called voltage here)
stretched rubber band.

Hope this helps.

How much is the moment due to force P about point B. P(unit=N) vector is equal to (150i+260j ) and vector BA (unit=meter) is equ
artcher [175]

Answer:

The moment (torque) is given by the following equation:

\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}\\\vec{r} \times \vec{F} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\^{i}&\^j&\^k\\r_x&r_y&r_z\\F_x&F_y&F_z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\^{i}&\^j&\3k\\0.23&0.04&0\\150&260&0\end{array}\right] = \^k((0.23*260) - (0.04*150)) = \^k (53.8~Nm)

Explanation:

The cross-product between the distance and the force can be calculated using the method of determinant. Since the z-components are zero, it is easy to calculate.

The Slowing Earth The Earth's rate of rotation is constantly decreasing, causing the day to increase in duration. In the year 20
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The average angular acceleration of the Earth, α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The period of 365 rotation of Earth in 2006, T₁ = 365 days, 0.840 sec

                                                                                  = 3.1536 x 10⁷ +0.840

                                                                                 = 31536000.84 s

The period of 365 rotation of Earth in 2006, T₀ = 365 days

                                                                               = 31536000 s

Therefore, time period of one rotation on 2006, Tₐ = 31536000.84/365

                                                                                   = 86400.0023 s

The time period of rotation is given by the formula,

                                <em>Tₐ = 2π /ωₐ</em>

                                 ωₐ = 2π / Tₐ

Substituting the values,

                                  ωₐ = 2π /  365.046306        

                                      = 7.272205023 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Therefore, the time period of one rotation on 1906, Tₓ = 31536000/365

                                                                                    = 86400 s

Time period of rotation,

                                   Tₓ = 2π /ωₓ

                                    ωₓ = 2π / T

                                           =  2π /86400

                                          = 7.272205217  x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The average angular acceleration

                                   α  = (ωₓ -   ωₐ) /  T₁

             = (7.272205217  x 10⁻⁵ - 7.272205023 x 10⁻⁵) / 31536000.84

                                    α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Hence the average angular acceleration of the Earth, α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²
