Why is the handle made of a different material than the rest of the pot?

Lorico [155]3 years ago

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

The handle is made from a different material than the rest of the pot because you want to be able to safely move & touch the handle without getting burnt. The pot is made of conductors, like metal, to help it get hot quickly and cook evenly. You need to be able to touch the handle without being in danger, so the handle is made of an insulator, like wood, which doesn't get hot easily

I hope this helps!

Answer: the handle is made up of different material than the rest of the pot because the handle can conduct heat into your hand if its the same material.

The Huka Falls on the Waikato River is one of New Zealand's most visited natural tourist attractions. On average, the river has
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

(a) V = 0.75 m/s

(b) V = 0.125 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the flow of the river can be given by following formula:

V = Q/A

V = Q/w d

where,

V = Speed of Flow of River

Q = Volume Flow Rate of River

w = width of river

d = depth of river

A = Area of Cross-Section of River = w d

(a)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 20 m

d = 20 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(20 m)(20 m)

<u>V = 0.75 m/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 60 m

d = 40 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(60 m)(40 m)

<u>V = 0.125 m/s</u>

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h
snow_lady [41]
A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds

Frictional force is caused by the interaction of a body with​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies.  Frictional force is more for rough surface and less for smooth surfaces.

A piston-cylinder device contains Helium gas initially at 150 kPa, 20 o C, and 0.5m 3 . The helium is now compressed in a polytr
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

P_1=150 kPa

T_1=20^{\circ}C

V_1=0.5 m^3

T_2=140^{\circ}C

P_2=400 kPa

R for Helium R=2.076

c_v=3.115 kJ/kg-K

mass of gas m=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}

m=\frac{150\times 0.5}{2.076\times 293}

m=0.123 kg

Similarly V_2 can be found

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

V_2=0.264 m^3

Work done W=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV

W=\frac{P_2V_2-P_1V_1}{n-1}

W=\frac{mR(T_2_T_1)}{n-1}

Since it is a polytropic Process

therefore PV^n=c

P_1V_1^n=P_2V_2^n

(\frac{V_1}{V_2})^n=\frac{P_2}{P_1}

(\frac{0.5}{0.264})^n=\frac{400}{150}

n=\frac{\ln 2.66}{\ln 1.893}

n=1.533

W=\frac{0.123\times 2.076(140-20)}{1.533-1}

W=57.48 kJ    

From Energy balance

E_{in}-E_{out}=\Delta E_{system}

Neglecting kinetic and Potential Energy change

Q_{in}+W_{in}=change\ in\ Internal\ Energy

Change in Internal Energy \Delta U=u_2-u_1

\Delta U=mc_v(T_2-T_1)

\Delta U=0.123\times 3.115(140-20)

\Delta U=45.977 kJ

Q_{in}+57.48=45.977

Q_{in}=-11.50 kJ  

i.e. Heat is being removed
