When you boil potatoes, will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water? (Direct

ions for cooking spaghetti call for vigorously boiling water-not to lessen cooking time but to prevent something else. If you don't know what it is, ask a cook.)

Answer:

The cooling time will not be reduced.

Explanation:

The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.

The reason cooking of spaghetti  calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.

The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.

However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.

A cubical block of iron 10 cm on each side is floating on mercury in a vessel. (i) What is the height of the block above the mer
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm

Explanation:

i

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced

To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?

V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³

So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block

= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ii

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?

V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ =  7200 cm³

So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block

= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm

A very narrow beam of white light is incident at 40.80° onto the top surface of a rectangular block of flint glass 11.6 cm thick
DerKrebs [107]
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.
