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>

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

Which of the following statements best describes the characteristic of the restoring force in the spring-mass system described i
Grace [21]

Answer : The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Explanation :

Restoring force is defined as the force that is exerted by the spring due to its mass.

Mathematically, the restoring force can be written as :

F\propto-x

F = - k x

where,

k is the spring constant.

x is the displacement caused due to the mass.

Negative sign shows that the force is acting in opposite direction.

So, it is clear that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the block ".

Imagine you want to get 1 kcal of energy from a cow. How much energy would the cow need to get from plants? Why?

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
Advocard [28]

Answer:

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane is 23.52 m, 24° east of south

Explanation:

given information:

Ricardo walks 27.0 m in a direction 60.0 ∘ west of north, thus

A= 27

Ax =  27 sin 60 = - 23.4

Ay = 27 cos 60 = 13.5

Jane walks 16.0 m in a direction 30.0 ∘ south of west, so

B = 16

Bx = 16 cos 30 = -13.9

By = 16  sin 30 = -8

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane

R = √A²+B² - (2ABcos60)

   = √27²+16² - (2(27)(16)(cos 60))

   = 23.52 m

now we can use the sines law to find the angle

tan θ = \frac{R_{y} }{R_{x} }

         = By - Ay/Bx -Ax

         = (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

     θ  = 90 - (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

         = 24° east of south
