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

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.

Explain why fishes survive in ponds even when the temperature is below 0°c

zmey [24]

Answer:

After sufficient thickness of ice is formed it prevents further loss of heat from the bottom layers of water. This is why fishes and other aquatic animals and plants can survive in ponds and other water bodies even when the atmospheric temperature reaches or is well below 0 degrees.The anomalous expansion of water helps preserve aquatic life during very cold weather. When temperature falls, the top layer of water in a pond contracts becomes denser and sinks to the bottom. ... Thus, even though the upper layer are frozen, the water near the bottom is at 4°C and the fishes can survive in it easily.

One of your classmates, in a fit of unrestrained ego, jumps onto a lab table:

Anettt [7]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the results for the forces of the system are

a) The free body diagram is in the attachment

b) The normal force is N = 737 N

c) The mass of the table is 10.2 kg

Newton's second law indicates that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is zero, it is called the equilibrium condition

∑ F = 0

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the external forces

a) A free body diagram is a scheme of the forces without the details of the bodies, in the attachmentt we see a free body diagram of the system.

b) The reaction force of the ground is applied in each of the legs of the table, in general this force has the same magnitude in each leg, therefore in Newton's second law we can place it as a single force

N = N₁ + N₂ + N₃ + N₄₄

Let's apply the equilibrium condition

N - $W_m -w_{table}$ = 0
