Why cooking pans don't have have metal handles?

2 answers:

metals are conductors, meaning that heat travels through it better than insulators such as plastic (commonly used for pan handles)

Therefore, to avoid the heat burning hands, most pans don't have metal handles.

Probably because during cooking they will also be hot and you won't be able to handle it.

Answer:

Part a)

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

Explanation:

Part a)

Let say the collision between Moose and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 500 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$2v_o = 2v_{1f} + v_o + v_{1f}$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{v_o}{3}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{v_o^2}{9})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{4}{9}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

Let say the collision between Camel and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 300 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$10v_o = 10v_{1f} + 3(v_o + v_{1f})$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{7v_o}{13}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{49v_o^2}{169})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{60}{169}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

A student wish to measure the gravitational acceleration g. She does it by releasing a small lead ball from rest and measures th

Goryan [66]

Answer:

(9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

Explanation:

The generic motion equation for constant acceleration is

$x = X0 + v0 * t + \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2$

Where

X0: initial position

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

If the object has an initial speed of zero, and the frame of reference is set conveniently so that the object initial position is zero, the equation simplifies to:

$x = \frac{1}{2}*a * t^2$

And the acceleration can be obtained as:

$a = 2*\frac{x}{t^2}$

Where x is the distance fallen and a = g.

So, with the data x = (100.0 +- 0.03) mm and t = (144 +- 3) ms we can calculate

$g = 2*\frac{100}{144^2} = 9.64e-3 \frac{mm}{ms^2} = 9.64 \frac{m}{s^2}$

For the uncertainty we have to calculate the relative uncertainties first

For the distance (100 * 0.3)/100 = 0.3%

For the time (100 * 3)/144 = 2.08%

For multiplications or divisions the relative uncertainties are added

0.3% + 2.08% + 2.08% = 4.46%

We convert this into absolute uncertainty:

(9.64e-3 * 4.46)/100 = 0.00043 mm/(ms^2)

Finally, this is multiplied by a constant scalar, so:

2 * 0.00043 mm/(ms^2) = 0.00086 mm/(ms^2)

We convert the units

0.86 m/(s^2)

And the measurement is (9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2

A better method is putting the ball in a ramp instead of a free fall, that way the fall is longer and the effect of time measuring uncertainty is reduced.

Why does a pencil look bent when it is placed in a glass of water?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

This is due to bending of light ray passing through the medium.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the concept of refraction.

Refraction can be defined as the bending of light ray as it travels from one medium to another (it can be from the less dense to denser medium or denser to less dense medium)

For that of pencil in water, light ray travels from less dense medium(surrounding air) to denser medium(water). This causes the pencil to bend away from the normal rather than towards the normal (angle of refraction being greater than angle of incidence) and hence the reason for the bending.

NB: Normal line is perpendicular to the plane between the medium.

How can we alter the pitch of guitar

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Tuning the keys.

Explanation:

"Guitar strings are tuned (tightened and loosened) using their tuning keys. Applying too much tension to a string tightly can raise it to the pitch of the next note, while loosening it can easily lower it the same amount. Increasing the tension raises the pitch. The length of a string is also important."

I hope this answers your question! Have a good night!
