Using a skillet on the stove to cook scrambled eggs is an example of which heat transfer?

Answer: conduction.


Explanation:


1) A skillet or pan will be in direct contact with the food.


2) Being the skillet a solid matter, it transfers heat by conduction.


3) There are three heat transfer mechanisms: convection, conduction, radiation.


i) Convection: only happens in fluids: liquids and gases.


It is a slow mechanism and is due to the motion of the particles of fluid.


This is not the case, since the skillet is solid and the eggs are in direct contact with it. If the eggs were separated from the skillet convection might happen but it would be very slow and the eggs would take so long time to be cooked.


ii) Conduction: happens by direct contact among neighboring particles, due to their vibrations. The vibrations are only transmitted to neighboring particles, which is only possibble when they are in direct contact, so it is the classical mechanism in solids. So, the heat transfer using the skillet to cook scrambles eggs is an example of conduction.


iii) Radiation: is the transfer of heat by infrared waves. It is an important mechanism when the substances are separated by vaccum or gases and the difference of temperature is high. Yet, this is not the importante mechanism here. You feel heat radiation when you put your hand close to the skillet.

When does the radioactive decay of a radioisotope stop? Give one example.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

When does the radioactive decay of a radioisotope stop? Give one example. An unstable isotope continues the decay process until it reaches a stable form. One example is the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14.

A tiny sphere carrying a charge of 6. 5 µc sits in an electric field, at a point where the electric potential is 240 v. what is
vodka [1.7K]

The sphere’s Electric potential energy is 1.6*10^{-6}J

Given,

q=6. 5 µc, V=240 v,

We know that sphere’s Electric potential energy(E) = qV=6.5*10^{-6} *240=1.6*10^{-6}J

<h3>Electric potential energy</h3>

The configuration of a certain set of point charges within a given system is connected with the potential energy (measured in joules) known as electric potential energy, which is a product of conservative Coulomb forces. Two crucial factors—its inherent electric charge and its position in relation to other electrically charged objects—can determine whether an object has electric potential energy.

In systems with time-varying electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electric potential energy," but in systems with time-invariant electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electrostatic potential energy."
