Answer: Hello there!

While some substances will show fluorescence when putting inside a microwave, there are some other substances that will react under other situations, for example, some of them may react to UV light or X-rays.

So she may find that the substance is fluorescent by putting it in the microwave, but if the substance does not react, this doesn't mean that the substance is not fluorescent.

I disagree.
Many substances show fluorescence under ULTRAVIOLET light, NOT microwaves. :)

a pulley of radius 0.9m is used to lift a bucket from the well. if it took 3.6 rotations for the pulley to take water out of the
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

h = 20.36[m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must calculate the perimeter (length of a circumference) of the circumference, which is denoted by the following equation:

L = 2*π*r

where:

r = radius = 0.9[m]

π = 3.1416

L = 2*(3.1416)*(0.9)

L = 5.654[m]

Now we know that the pulley or circumference had to rotate 3.6 times to get the water out of the well. In this way the depth of the well can be calculated by means of the following equation:

h = 3.6*L

h = 3.6*5.654

h = 20.36[m]

The average mass of an automobile in the United States is about 1.440x10^6 g express this mass in kilograms
-BARSIC- [3]
From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of grams to units of kilograms. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram. We use this as follows:

<span> 1.440x10^6 g ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) = 1440 kg</span><span>

There is an electromagnetic wave traveling in the -z direction in a standard right-handed coordinate system. What is the directi
wlad13 [49]

Answer: The direction of the electric field, E→, is pointed in the +y direction.

Explanation:

One can use the right hand rule to illustrate the direction of travel of an electromagnetic and thereby get the directions of the electric field, magnetic field and direction of travel of the wave.

The right hand rule states that the direction of the thumb indicate the direction of travel of the electromagnetic wave (<em>in this case the -z direction</em>) and the curling of the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field  B→ (<em>in this case the +x direction</em>), therefore, the electric field direction E→ is in the direction of the fingers which would be pointed towards the +y direction.
