It takes much longer to bake a whole potato than potatoes that have been cut into pieces why ?

1 answer:

3 0

A whole potato must be cooked from outside in, just like a potato cut into slices.

however, with a potato cut into slices, there is a greater surface area, so there is more "outside" and less inside. as a result, the sliced potato cooks faster.

A big lump of meat of mass 5Kg is hung from a spring balance in an elevator. Find the reading of the balance of (I) the elevator

Mrrafil [7]

The reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

T = m g + m a

T = Force

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

a = Acceleration

m = 5 kg

g = 10 m / s²

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed,

At steady speed, a = 0

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0 )

T = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s²,

a = 0.2 m / s²

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0.2 )

T = 50 + 1

T = 51 N

Therefore, the reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

what is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on the moon if the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2

monitta

On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539 J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁ = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}$

$\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}$

$\eta=0.6918$

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W$

P=3967.21 W

A girl throws a marshmallow that lands in her friend’s mouth 2 m away. The girl threw the marshmallow at an angle of 30 degrees.

natima [27]

She threw the marshmallow at a speed of around 4.76 m/s.The formula for the horizontal range gives the velocity.

<h3>What is projectile motion?</h3>

The motion of an item hurled or projected into the air, subject only to gravity's acceleration, is known as projectile motion.

The item is known as a projectile, and the course it takes is known as a trajectory. Falling object motion is a simple one-dimensional kind of projectile motion with no horizontal movement.

Given data;

The marshmallow was thrown at a distance of 2 meters

Range,R = 3 m

Initial velocity,u

The angle at which the marshmallow was thrown,θ = 30°

The acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.81 m/s²

The projectile's motion is divided into two parts: horizontal and vertical motion.

$\rm R = \frac{u^2sin2 \theta }{g} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{u^2sin2 \times (30) }{9.81} \\\\ u^2=\frac{2 \times 9.81 }{sin 60^0} \\\\ u^2=22.66 \\\\ u=4.76 \ m/sec$

Hence, she throws the marshmallow at a speed of 4.76 m/sec.
